Andrew Shortland and Patrick Degryse | When Art Isn’t Real
The art world is a multi-billion-dollar industry which captures world headlines on a regular basis, for both good and bad reasons. When Art Isn’t Real deals with one of the most-discussed areas of controversy: high-profile objects that have experts arguing about their veracity.

Authors Andrew Shortland and Patrick Degryse share some insights from behind the scenes and talk about what their project entails.
