Director Barry Avrich on his New Documentary Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Barry Avrich,
producer and director at Melbar Entertainment Group joins us to
chat about his new documentary Made You Look: A True Story About
Fake Art that chronicles the events of the largest art fraud in
American history. First, Barry shares a brief recap of the infamous
Knoedler Gallery art fraud. Then, he tells us what inspired him to
make a documentary about this unprecedented fraud. Also, he reveals
how eager Ann Freedman, the former director of Knoedler Gallery,
was to participate in the documentary and if Barry believes Ann
knew she was selling fake artworks or not. Then Barry explains why
the blame seems to fall on Ann, rather than Glafira Rosales, who
was selling the fakes to Knoedler Gallery, and the forger, Pei-Shen
Qian. Finally, Barry tells us if the art world has changed in any
meaningful way as a result of the Knoeder Gallery fraud.
