STORY ABOUT ART FORGERY IN THE NEW YORKER

"The Mark of a Masterpiece:
The man who keeps finding famous fingerprints on uncelebrated works of art."

Well written story about the art world, with interesting insights on connoisseurship, authentication, & forgery. There are many parallels to the tribal art market.
