A Princeton art historian turns his knowledge of the market into comedy. A candid forger turns out Corots, a great lady outwits an expert over a Giorgione, scholars reveal their duplicity over Lombard runes, and a New York couple are ruined by a precious cross, all cases, as the subtitle says, under the commandments against false witness and coveting.
Sly, knowing stories for anyone who loves art, auctions and the follies of collectors. Download the free EPUB.
