Listen Later

In this episode of the Compendium, we explore the Knoedler Gallery Scandal, a tale of deception that rocked the art world. We dive into how Glafira Rosales, Pei-Shen Qian, and Ann Freedman played key roles in the infamous art forgery scandal that fooled top collectors with fake Rothko paintings and other forged masterpieces. Discover how the oldest gallery in New York collapsed amidst lawsuits, fraud, and the sale of multi-million-dollar forgeries. We break down the twists and turns that made this scandal one of the greatest in art history.
