CARRINGTON
The Masterpieces That Never ExistedBy Mohamed Aslam
Length58m
About this audiobook
For fifteen years, a respected Manhattan gallery sold "newly discovered" paintings by a reclusive mid-century artist — sixty-one canvases, tens of millions of dollars, and a reputation built on genuine early scholarship that made almost no one think to question it. Forty-four of those paintings were never touched by her hand at all. They were painted by a technically brilliant, commercially overlooked forger working from a quiet studio upstate — until a museum conservator's routine cleaning turned up a tube of paint that wouldn't be invented for another three years.
Carrington: The Masterpieces That Never Existed traces one of the most successful art forgery schemes in recent memory, from a struggling painter's first quiet act of deception through the FBI Art Crime Team investigation that finally unraveled it. A story about expertise, trust, and how long a lie can survive when nobody thinks to test the paint.
