Can art forgers actually be the good guys? History comes to exciting life with an Art Book Discussion on author Edward Dolnick’s intense non-fiction work, The Forger’s Spell: a True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Century. The discussion details the con of Hermann Goering, one of Hitler’s closest officers, by three men who fabricated a painting of Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer. If you like what you hear, return on Thursday to take the docent tour that will connect the works of Vermeer to the events of the story. Space is limited and registration is requested.
