- 98codes 8y agoA similar documentary[0] around the art world blew my mind -- not only was one man fooling people into thinking his paintings were real, he was the one making them. [0] http://artandcraftfilm.com/ http://artandcraftfilm.com/
- gingerlime 8y agowould love to watch it, but looks like it's only available in the US for some reason :/
- at-fates-hands 8y agoAfter reading some books on art forgeries and the underground art market, someone recommended I check out the wine industry and told me it was just as bad if not worse. I'd point people to another great Vanity Fair article about wine fraud: A Vintage Crime https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/07/wine-fraud-rudy-kurniawan-vintage-burgundies https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/07/wine-fraud-rudy-k...
- gingerlime 8y agoThis looks like the same guy / story :)
- tyu100 8y agoA great novel with furniture fraud at its core is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.
- astrodust 8y agoAny documentary that has one of the Koch brothers losing millions of dollars to fraud made possible by his greed gets a thumbs up from me.
