The Art Forger: A Novel | B. A. Shapiro
post image

Thirty years ago, two men broke into The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and stole 13 works of art. The paintings—including a Degas and a Vermeer—were never recovered.

The Art Forger is a captivating novel about a struggling artist who is hired to make a realistic copy of a painting — only to discover that she‘s actually being paid to forge one of the stolen masterpieces.

Did you guys know that Steve Martin (who, by the way, dated Cindy Sherman) is a really amazing novelist? I read this one, which is about an up-an-coming It Girl in the NYC art scene, years ago and absolutely loved it. The story spans from the 1990s to the early 2000s, and includes 9/11 and the morally questionable protagonist's reaction to it. Amazing novel--can't recommend it enough.
