VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD price-clipped dust jacket With his trademark humor and irreverence, Thomas Hoving, former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, delves into an important aspect of modern culture - art forgery - to reveal the appalling scams, the duplicitous perpetrators, and the hapless dupes, from the beginning of civilization to the present. This is a big, broad book of art fakes, fakers, and suckers written in Hoving's signature style - amusing, wicked, and mischievous. 28 b&w photographs
