2 documentaries to answer your main questions

Many of us ask ourselves these 2 questions when we look at the art-work:
1) What is the value of it?
2) What if it's fake?

I recently watched 2 documentary movies that will answer those questions.

Name: What makes art valuable
Production: BBC
Story: What Makes Art Valuable is a BBC documentary answering very exciting question: what is the link between art and money? What makes art-work so valuable (also super-relevant question taking into account the sale of Salvator Mundi attributed to Leonardo da Vinci few days ago for $ 450 million). The journalist is telling us about top 10 most expensive art-works ever sold, who bought them and why. 
Spoiler: Leonardo is not in the list, too hot to be there :) 

Production: Deutsche Welle
Story: The second movie Fakes In The Art World is answering even more interesting question: how do we know if it's a fake or not. DW documentary is showing us what happens if there is a concern whether the art-work is original. The example that is taken in the movie is an antique sculpture attributed to a mysterious conman Spanish Master. 
Spoiler: one of the methods is CT scan of the sculpture.
