Completely fascinating interview at PRI with art forger Mark Landis, who lives in Mississippi. Hes forged works from Picasso to Walter Ingles Anderson, and had works displayed in museums across the country, some done with felt-tip markers in Hobby Lobby frames. Called When is art forgery not a crime? When the forger is a philanthropist the interview describes how Mark escaped prosecution because he gave the works to museums rather than selling them. Seems he did it mostly to make friends and get attention. The documentary about him, Art and Craft will be in select theaters beginning this month. https://youtube/watch?v=cZBramUOcd0
