We are taken on a gripping journey, becoming witness to the attempts currently being made to safeguard a partly complicit art market virtually under siege.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow can we determine whether it was Leonardo's hand that created \u003cem\u003eSalvator Mundi\u003c\/em\u003e? How can we prove that a suspected Pollock is a forgery? And how can \u003cem\u003eMan in a Black Cravat\u003c\/em\u003e be seemingly incontrovertibly attributed to Lucian Freud, despite this artist's adamant refusal to recognize it as one of his own? This book reveals how art historians and scientists collaborate conclusively to authenticate paintings or demonstrate that they are forgeries, and as the enigma of \u003cem\u003eLa Bella Principessa\u003c\/em\u003e continues to baffle, the question remains: do we have enough reason to hope that we shall one day know her true story? Building on the first edition, a more in depth look is taken at some of the greatest scandals to date -- with an interpretation of the psychological behavior of Ann Freedman the former president and director of the Knoedler Gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52437914648883,"sku":"9781786345943","price":52.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bEs5ajViRW1aSC9xRGNJWFVTaU5oZz09.webp?v=1758830032","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/scientist-and-the-forger-the-probing-a-turbulent-art-world-second-edition-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
