"Several of the greatest collectors of Old Master paintings in turn-of-the-century America were sold fakes or wildly misattributed works by Leo Nardus. Drawing on newly discovered documents, Jonathan Lopez explains how Nardus was exposed and discusses the impact of his chicanery on the art market."

Hey Jonathan,
I just came across this posting on an art blog that I read religiously:
www.artsjournal.com/man/2008/09/the_revealing_art_books_of_the.html
It calls The Man Who Made Vermeers one of "the three headlining art books of the season!" Congrats!!!!
Lea
