Epis.#294: the art of art forgery
from The Conversation Art Podcast · host Michael Shaw
Law school professor, former general counsel for Pepsico, and novelist (most recently of The Forger's Forgery) Clay Small talks about: visiting Amsterdam's notorious Six Collection, which he was only able to do through creative means (largely through this article), and what the experience was like; art forgery, particularly European forgers of the 20th century- what they got away with, and how they largely avoided prosecution by cultivating charming personas, which ultimately led to their being forgiven in the public (and legal) arena; and his consequential and bizarre visit to Michael Jackson's compound, in working on the contract negotiation for Jackson's concert tour at the time.
