Film Details

This new documentary delves into one of the greatest art hoaxes of modern times—the 80-million-dollar sale, over a 15-year-period, of a series of fake abstract expressionist paintings by Knoedler, New York City's oldest and most venerable art gallery. It's an incredible, stranger-than-fiction tale of forgery, self-delusion, and greed. Cleveland premiere. 84 min.
