MARK FORGY, longtime friend and confidante of ELMYR DE HORY, the most prolific and successful art faker of the twentieth century, and author of the memoir, THE FORGER’S APPRENTICE: LIFE WITH THE WORLD’S MOST NOTORIOUS ARTIST, is sharing new insights and secrets of the man who turned the art world upside down.
In conjunction with the well-received exhibition ELMYR DE HORY, ARTIST and FAKER at the HILLSTROM MUSEUM of ART at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, Mark Forgy spoke to an overflow crowd at WALLENBERG AUDITORIUM. Audience reaction described his talk as “spellbinding . . . funny . . . endearing . . . knowledgeable.”
Mr. Forgy is available for public lecture, and the Hillstrom Museum of Art exhibition Elmyr de Hory, Artist and Faker is also available for display at additional venues (in full or abbreviated versions).
