The Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT is presenting through September 9 an exhibition entitled Fakes and Forgeries: The Art of Deception showing a collection of 60 forgeries of famous Western works of art. As someone who actually liked the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crowne Affair with Renee Russo and Pierce Brosnan, not least because of the (probably amazingly cartoonish) portrayal of art forgeries and the techniques used to detect them, I think that this exhibit would be fascinating. If I were going to be anywhere near Greenwich between now and September, I would be there in a heartbeat. Alas, it seems unlikely to be.
