Fake Picasso

"Psst, do you want to buy a Picasso painting?"

Caught! 
Two weeks ago in Madrid, Spanish police arrested four people trying to sell a forged Picasso oil painting for 1.5 million dollars.    The canvas was a counterfeit version of a 1964 work.  These people also provided fake document signed by Paloma Picasso, one of the painter's daughters.
