Steve Martin was swindled in a major German art forgery scandal, a source close to the comedian confirms to Gossip Cop.

The actor-author-musician, who set his recent novel “An Object of Beauty” in the art world, purchased what he thought was a 1915 painting by Heinrich Campendonk called “Landscape With Horses” for approximately $850,000 in 2004.

When he attempted to resell the work 15 months later, Martin’s painting took a big loss, fetching only about $600,000.

It’s now believed that Martin’s faux “Campendonk” actually came from fabricated art collections created by a network of German swindlers apprehended in 2010.

Whether it was the inclusion of younger presenters like Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart or the comical teaming of Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin or the fact that there was a real race between “The Hurt Locker” and “Avatar,” directed by ex-spouses (winner) Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron, the ratings for last night’s Oscar telecast were up from last year’s.
