When Art Isn't Real: The World's Most Controversial Objects under Investigation by Patrick Degryse, Andrew Shortland

reflective slow-paced

3.0

I found the writing style to be a slog, especially since so many of the artworks in question in this book have been extensively and vibrantly covered elsewhere (recommended reading: The Last Leonardo by Ben Lewis; The Art of the Con by Anthony M. Amore; Making the Mummies Dance by Thomas Hoving.) I didn't think that the book added anything new to the conversation about these works, but it also didn't make for an interesting intro to the topic either.
