Cool Art


Peter Paul Biro has to be one of the coolest people in the art world. He is not an artist, sculptor, or writer but, rather, authenticates paintings based upon fingerprints.  Yes, artist fingerprints.  Biro has created a special camera and technique where he looks into the layers of paint and searches for the artists actual fingers print, as artist leave their fingerprints in the paint.  He has done to the art world what Sherlock Holmes did to murders- they figured out who done it.
