Artist Joe Fig was just looking to unwind with his wife by tuning into Netflix last weekend when he got a shock.
They settled into
Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art, an engaging documentary (
Variety calls it “lively and fascinating”) that recounts the scandal of a century. New York’s Knoedler & Co. gallery had survived a Civil War and two World Wars over more than a century and a half, until an unassuming Long Island woman, Glafira Rosales, started showing up with paintings supposedly by Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko with no paperwork and a mysterious (and changing) backstory, available for way less than market rates.
