What motivated prolific forger Mark Landis? (Hint: not money)
Mark Landis and co-director Sam Cullman on the Oscar-shortlisted documentary.
The Oscar-shortlisted documentary Art and Craft follows the bizarre story of prolific art forger Mark Landis. The film, which has been described as a cross between Catch Me If You Can and Grey Gardens, explores why Landis spent more than 30 years fooling seasoned experts with elaborate art forgeries.
Today Landis and documentary co-director Sam Cullman join guest host Piya Chattopadhyay to discuss Landis' incredible story, how he became "addicted" to posing as a millionaire philanthropist, and what forgery can teach us about the true value of original art.
