Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art (2020)

Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art: Directed by Barry Avrich. With Ann Freedman, M.H. Miller, Perry Amsellem, Patricia Cohen. Made You Look is an American crime documentary about the largest art fraud in American history set in the super rich, super obsessed and super fast art world of New York.

“A very well presented documentary and a scathing indictment of abstract expressionist art, in that it can be so easily forged and accepted as original art by every top, bona fide art expert. Well not ALL the experts. The forensic scientists that were called upon to test the paintings, proved beyond all doubt that these were100% forgeries.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe eminently guilty gallery director, Ann Freeman, had a one of the fake Jackson Pollocku0026#39;s hanging on her wall for ten years….WITH HIS SIGNATUREu0026#39;S NAME MIS-SPELLED! Thatu0026#39;s right! Pollock mis-spelled his own name when he signed the front of his painting. I think thatu0026#39;s a big red flag, huh?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat was so startling in this doc was, much like Bernie Madoff and his greedy clients, there was enough blatant, drooling avarice on the part of gallery owner, the gallery director, the paintingu0026#39;s seller AND the paintingu0026#39;s buyers, that I think they ALL got what they deserved….sort of.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDisheartening at best, as the rich never really lose, never feel remorse and everyone pretty much gets back to business as usual.”
