OverviewA study of the closed society of international plunderers and forgers which thrives as a subculture of the art world. These multi-cultural denizens include antiquity dealers, collectors, museum curators, and forgers working in conjunction with auction houses, museums and galleries. Forgeries are made to be sold, and a great number pass into the art world, complete with their fabricated stories of excavation, and how they were found. This volume documents the success and activities of one small corner of this vast network - artefacts from the Ancient Near East - with hundreds of detailed catalogue entries of forgeries.
