Virginia-born Mark Landis, the subject of the 2014 documentary Art and Craft and a prolific forger whose works bearing the names of artists as diverse as René Magritte, José Clemente Orozco, and Egon Schiele have unwittingly made their way into the collections
of 46 museums in 20 states.

Whereas Landis’s success in making prolific donations then was predicated on his own anonymity as an artist, his show at Wirth Galerie marks over a decade since the publication of John Gapper’s
Financial Times article “The Forger’s Story,”
which first chronicled Landis’s practice of
beneficent forgery in 2011 and catalyzed a
quasi-sensational interest in the man and his work.
