The traditional art elite wants to bury Beltracchi

Since his arrest in 2010, the art establishment has been working tirelessly to make his artworks inaccessible to the public. Museums, galleries and auction houses alike have barred Beltracchi from exhibiting and selling his art. As an ordinary person, it is near impossible to obtain an original Beltracchi. It is in the art establishment’s utmost interest to maintain the status quo, and to continue to dictate what is and what isn’t art.
