For this week’s episode of ‘Crimes Against Art’ join hosts Michelle and Isobel as they unpack the Knoedler Gallery scandal. Netflix turned their gaze to the art world with their recent true crime documentary ‘‘Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art’ which recounts the demise of the Knoedler Gallery resulting from the sale of a series of fraudulent artworks. Michelle and Isobel discuss the documentary, the implications of forgeries in the art market, the work of Mark Rothko, and discover a multitude of cameos from Hollywood stars to zany financiers. The art world has never been so convoluted nor so intriguing.
