The class is from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesdays in the UU East Lounge, and it runs until November 15. The business office hours are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday to Friday. The art world is rife with misattributed paintings, prints and other art and archaeological objects. Some are outright forgeries, others are copies of masterpieces and some are training exercises by modern artists. Many are purchased at flea markets and then enter the art market with simulated provenance.
Forgery is a large and growing industry.
This presentation reveals how a forger can be detected and discusses McCrone's noted work on the Shroud of Turin and the Vinland Map. The opening from 5-8 p.m. is at the Art Mission Gallery, on the Washington Street Mall, Binghamton. The exhibit runs through November 11. The installation, funded by a grant from the New York State Council of the Arts, is based on creative nonfiction for which Gay won a New York Fine Arts award. Truce will demonstrate techniques to reduce stress and attaining balance.
