My New York Public Radio segment on the Brooklyn Museum’s Coptic art fakes was bumped to Monday by an story on Iran (fair enough) but it’s up on their website today and I’ve got permission to post it on CultureGrrl.
For those of you who still want to hear it on the radio, I’m told that it will air at 7:30 a.m. But these things can change (and probably will).
At any rate, you can listen now by clicking the arrow below (or WNYC’s website) and I’ll post more on the topic next week, after this airs. For now, I’ll only add that I stole the quip at the end of my comments from Samuel Sachs II, who, many years ago, was discussing the Minneapolis Institute of Arts’ “Fakes and Forgeries” show of 1973 (when he was that museum’s director).
