Why read it?
1 author picked Art Forgery as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is part philosophy, part on art and forgery. Most approaches, my own included, to art forgery are art historical and criminological. This one is readable and thoughtful and fun but focuses on the big ideas behind the scenes.
From Noah's list on art crime.
