Truman, and the actor Will Rogers.[4] He sculpted a peace memorial for Greenwood, Wisconsin,[5][6] from an artificial stone made using concrete and fine white sand.[7] Unveiled in 1937, it was restored in 1982.[7] In July 2016 BBC Television screened an episode of Fake or Fortune?, in which a privately-held watercolour of a Cambodian dancer, supposedly by Rodin, was exposed as a Durig fake.[2] The New York Museum of Modern Art holds a collection of his drawings.[2] Others, previously thought to be by Rodin, are in the {{lang|fr|Musée d'Orsay}} in Paris.[2] Durig's extensive career of forgery was first exposed in the 4 June 1965 issue of LIFE.[3] Bibliography
