Art Fraud

Introducing: Art Fraud

In 1994 a woman previously unknown in the world of fine art walked into one of the oldest and most revered galleries in New York City. She carried under her arm a previously unknown masterpiece by Mark Rothko, one of fine arts most sought after mid-century masters. So began a relationship that would last 17 years and involve dozens of paintings that brought in more than 80 million dollars. But they were all fake. The resulting fallout would shock art world and see the once vaunted Knoedler Gallery closed overnight and the perpetrators under federal indictment. Join host Alec Baldwin for season one of ART FRAUD as we investigate the rise and fall of The Knoedler Gallery.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
