The history of fakes in the art world, April 15 2008
By Joanna Daneman - Published on Amazon.com
This is an older book, but a good one! If you are interesting in the history of famous art fakes, this book covers everything from statues of antiquities faked by Michaelangelo (of all people), the famous forger David Stein (who did time in Sing-Sing .)
The methods of the forgers (from Michaelangelo burying a statue of Cupid to give it a patina) to how science detects the fakes (pigments, canvas, paper) is all covered. This is a very fascinating read about art history and criminal history combined. The author is a journalist who really gets the facts and writes excitingly as well. A classic.
