A perfectly convincing lithograph was found wedged outside a regional arts center at 6:40 AM on January 9, 2011, glass iced over and a museum inventory sticker still on the frame - but the print on the wall was actually a near-flawless forgery with vertical chain lines where horizontal ones should have been. Who slipped a counterfeit into a small Ohio museum, swapped it with the authentic number 12 of 200, and why leave the one tiny structural clue only a paper specialist would notice?
In this episode, we follow the discovery at the Pelham Regional Arts Center and the staff who uncover it, from the roads worker who first spotted the frozen frame to the collections assistant whose academic focus on mid-century lithographic paper spots the error - what happened, who handled the print, and what that single paper detail might reveal about the swap?
Person: Roger Sharp

- The discovery occurred at 6:40 AM with outside temperature at four degrees.
- The print found frozen was number 12 of an edition of 200, made in 1961.
- Patricia Engel had been director of the Pelham Regional Arts Center for 18 years at the time.
- Judith Moore was 26 years old and 14 months into her job in authentication and collections when the swap was discovered.
- Expert Warren Schell identified the hanging print as a forgery due to chain lines running vertically instead of the expected horizontal direction.
