Reading another art forgery book (famous, modern)

[Cida]

Just reading another fun book on famous art forgery: I Was Vermeer: The Legend of the Forger Who Swindled the Nazis, by Frank Wynne. The Nazi part is really incidental, but, still, such a nervy scam.

I Was Vermeer | Bloomsbury USA

Review: I Was Vermeer by Frank Wynne | Books | The Guardian

But I find that the more exciting one is the contemporary one I read first: Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art, by Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo.

Interesting, I will have to check these out. I find stories about art thefts and forgeries to be very interesting.
