An interesting story, though not quite as gripping as dolnick's rescue artist, which I highly recommend. I particularly enjoyed the details of how the forgeries were done, the section about magicians and the monuments men parts.
enjoyable true crime caper-none too bright bandits and all too human agents-plus plenty of stories of missing art-very interesting inside look
True story of a Dutch forger who fooled many in the art world with his "Vermeer's". The book slowed down in the middle pages ... seemed to get repetitious. But overall, it was an informative and interesting read.

Edward Dolnick's account of Van Meegeren and the contexts within which he worked is at times an interesting one, but choppy and oddly structured. It didn't feel like Dolnick had quite enough to say to justify the book's length. Lukewarm recommendation.… (altro)
