Unmasking the Forger: The Dossena Deception

Unmasking the Forger is the sensational story of the most versatile art forger of all time, Alceo Dossena. By the time of his exposure, Dossena's creations in marble, bronze, & terracotta, had made their way into America's most important museums. By the time he died in 1937, it was conservatively estimated that over $3 million had been paid for his work. But despite his genius, his massive output, and an ever-gullible patronage, he made little personal profit. He died a poor man in a charity hospital. The real villans of the story are the unscrupulous dealers. This ultimately is a scholary, yet exciting detective adventure in the world of art forgery.
