The Vectis Decorative and Fine Arts Society present their next monthly lecture tomorrow (Thursday) at Medina Theatre.
Art forgery is extremely lucrative, but modern dating and analysis techniques have made the identification of forged art work much simpler.
Forgers have never had it so good, as cash, even now, floods into new, lightly regulated art markets. Careful connoisseurs therefore consider stylistic, technical and archival evidence before making an attribution. But the scientific and documentary evidence can also be faked and market pressures favour the forger!
In this lecture, we will meet a cast of colourful characters including Otto Wacker, Hans van Meegeren and Tom Keating.
Take place at Medina Theatre on Thursday (17th May). All visitors welcome £6.00, Students £2.00 Pay on the door.
