Summary

For over a century, the Knoedler Gallery was one of New York's most reputable art institutions, having survived the Civil War, both World Wars, and 9/11. Though seemingly indestructible, three con artists were able to infiltrate the gallery, operating an $80 million forgery ring that led to its downfall.   Author and filmmaker Barry Avrich discusses this shocking scandal that rocked the art world, as detailed in his new book, The Devil Wears Rothko.
