This guide will unlock both achievements for this level at the same time, including:
PAYDAY 3True ConnoisseurThe True Connoisseur achievement in PAYDAY 3 worth 802 pointsSteal the painting by Shanda Latrell in Under the Surphaze on Very Hard or above.

PAYDAY 3Art CriticThe Art Critic achievement in PAYDAY 3 worth 228 pointsComplete Under The Surphaze having stolen all art from the 7 exhibitions on Very Hard or above.

Mission: Under the Surphaze
Player Count: 3+ Required
Difficulty: Very Hard
Loadout: Stealth and Speed
Favor: Zipline Bag Highly Recommended

Step 1: Security Room + Manager's Office
Get into the upper floors of the art gallery and find the security room to disable the guard there and turn off all the cameras. Next, find the manager's office, interact with the computer, and crack the safe in the false wall to find the USB Drive. You can clear out the entire upstairs, taking out all guards and stash civilians in the security room. Grab as many QR codes as you can while upstairs as well. You will also find the spectrometer upstairs in one of the side rooms, which we'll need later. While in the manager's office, make note of the 3 mini sculptures on the desk. DO NOT LOOT these until much later.

Step 2: Disabling Upstairs Security Measures
Interact with the wall panel somewhere upstairs, and do the circle mini-game to disable the security bars in all of the upstairs exhibition rooms. You'll also want to open up all of the exhibition rooms and disable the power circuits to deactivate the laser grids without raising an alarm. This is most easily done through roof access.

Step 3: Secure upstairs loot via Zipline
You'll have to remain in stealth, and it's worth securing the loot in the upstairs exhibition rooms via the zipline just in case things go south later; it'll be much easier to escape. Make sure you DO NOT LOOT any sculptures that match the mini figures in the manager's office, and pay extra attention to the Uma painting. You can find information about this painting in the manager's email. There will be two copies of this painting and we want the authentic one. Cut a hole in the display of either painting, use the spectrometer on it, and wait for the scan to verify its authenticity. Now, take the USB Drive and use it on the authentic painting, looting it as all the other loot.

Step 4: Repeat downstairs
You'll want to go downstairs, stay in stealth, deactivate the bars using the panel mini-game, and sneak into the exhibitions disabling the power when possible.

Step 5: Shanda Latrell Painting
With the entire art gallery opened, and mostly looted, it's time to get access to the secret painting which requires cooperation from all 3 co-op members. Find the 3 sculptures that match the mini figures on the manager's desk exactly. Some are similar, so be sure you have the right ones. Each co-op member should stand at their own unique sculpture and the goal is to loot all 3 at the same time. Wait until everyone is ready and do a countdown in the chat. If done correctly, this will reveal a secret button behind a painting in the manager's office. Before pressing this button, one member of the team should park themselves in front of the Shanda Latrell, as using the button starts a difficult laser grid. Being there before it's activated allows you to skip the laser grid. Once the button is activated, loot the Shanda Latrell.

Step 6: Escape
At this point, you can break stealth, but staying in it will make things easier. Either sneak all the loot to the escape van, or break stealth and signal the chopper. Before escaping make sure you have ALL 21 BAGS OF LOOT, and the Optional Objective for "All loot" should disappear. All loot will require all of the paintings and sculptures from every exhibition including the authentic Uma painting. Once the optional objective disappears, escape for each member to gain both achievements.

Good luck!

Hello achievement hunters.

This achievement is a tricky one that requires atleast 3 players. (4 would be ideal)

This has to be done in stealth. (This wouldnt work for me on loud)

The first thing you need to do is check the statues in Managers Office on the desk, they are small and these are copy's of ones you can steal. You then need to find the rooms where these statues are and disable the barriers for them, once done you need everyone to stand at a statue each and pick them up at the same time. If done successfully there will be a button behind a painting in Manager office you will be able to move the painting to reveal it, press the button which will activates Lasers down in the middle room. You need to traverse the lasers and grab the painting. The achievement will pop when you throw the painting in the van. (If you have a 4th player have them stood at the painting ready to grab it before activating the lasers)

Good luck with this one and happy hunting!

You do have to keep stealth to get the painting, but once you've bagged it you can go loud. My group accidentally tripped a laser on the way out, and we were able to get it to the helicopter and get the achievement. We didn't even complete the mission because we died; the bag just needed to get to the helicopter (or the van if you kept stealth).

Requirements:
Mission has to be done on Very Hard or Overkill
You need at least 3 people to do this.

The majority of the mission will be done in stealth, once you have picked up the painting, you are able to go loud to secure it.

I recommend using restarts from pause menu as you get the same instance

This achievement requires several points that must be completed:

1. 3 players or more. Stealth only.
2. You need to go into the director's office and see 3 figures on the table - these are the statues that you need. There are 7 of them on the map (one for each room), but you need exactly the ones on the table. Their location is always random.
3. The statues need to be picked up in one second (That is, all three statues are picked up by three different people at the same time)
4. After point 3, a secret button will appear in the director’s room, which gives access to the painting. It (the painting) is in the room to the right of the main entrance, on the wall. The button will be in the director's office on the wall near the paintings on the left side
5. To take a picture, you need to press close to it while sitting, then stand up and take it. Before this, your friend must press the secret button from step 4, this will give access to this picture
6. After you have taken the painting, lasers will appear, and through the cameras you can see a path through which you can leave the room. If you fail it, the alarm will be raised

The achievement is blocked if the stealth fails, if the painting has not yet been taken, because the button in the director’s room “disappears” (It appears, but cannot be pressed). The picture can be delivered loudly; the path of lasers does not have to go through. The achievement drops immediately after the painting is thrown into the van/turntable
