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.
