An art forger has to be good at what he does.

Otherwise, no one will pay attention to him. There are scholars. There are institutions dedicated to uncovering fraud.

So it is amazing that one guy duped so many and, even more, amazingly, did it without getting a cent for it.

His trick is that he donated the paintings and, probably from greed and acquisition fever, no one really questioned it. They just took the works on.

But he fool a lot of "experts" which sort of shows that people just might want to be fooled sometimes.

So, no crime was committed.

All very interesting from all sides.

Hence today's film, a documentary

Art and Craft (2014)

It is too long and is padded out but it is still interesting. Hand on FF costs it some points. A 2 out of Netflix5. But it is interesting until it gets a bit flabby.
