Description

Art history, fine art, and the challenge of detecting art forgery are all weaved into a novel with settings from Amsterdam to Texas. Clay G. Small became a world traveler during his 30 year career with PepsiCo (as General Counsel). He currently is a Professor at SMU Cox School of Business, Member of the SMU Law School Executive Committee and a visiting professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - where he'll be teaching in October. He combines his love of art with storytelling in his newly released novel, The Forger's Forgery. Here are a few reviews: 'Perhaps one reason why The Forger's Forgery is a complex mystery and yet realistic, is that it's based on the true story of master forger Han van Meegeren, who forged the works of some Dutch masters in the 1930s and ’40s in a notorious crime that was clever, unprecedented, and difficult to solve.' D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review "The Forger’s Forgery … was a great read, cleverly constructed, very entertaining, exciting and humoristic.” Friso Lammertse, author Van Meegeren’s Vermeers “Clay has a gift for engaging the reader, taking them to places they want to go, entertaining the reader and using his legal knowledge to create multiple mysteries which the reader looks forward to solving.” Raymond Jacobson, McDermott, Will & Emery Join Clay in-person as he discusses: *What else besides money drives an art forger? * Forgeries are everywhere. As the price for art has soared so have forgeries. * The most forged artists of all time * Science of art authentication * The most clever of art forgers. Enjoy this Saturday, Aug. 14th with Clay.
