It's the Swiss Sugar Baron's Fault: The Knoedler & Company Art Forgery Scandal

from Ridiculous Crime · host iHeartPodcasts

A storied and respected New York art gallery thought they'd stumbled on a treasure trove of undiscovered Abstract Expressionist art. It was, of course, too good to be true. And anyone savvy enough to run a powerhouse art gallery and broker would have known that. But the pieces still went on sale for incredible amounts of money. Full of murky finances, questionable practices, and unnoticed goof ups, this is a classic art crime tale that we all need right now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
