The Forger's Spell

a True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century
May 25, 2012GummiGirl rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
An illuminating look at how a Dutch forger, Han van Meegeren, fooled critics and collectors in the 1930s and sold one of his "Vermeers" to Hermann Goering. Includes lots of details about the mechanics of creating and selling forgeries, though less about van Meegeren himself.
