A Dutch museum has just put its fake Van Gogh on show

The Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo has broken traditional museum protocol by placing a known forgery, "Seascape at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer," on public display. Acquired in 1928 by museum founder Helene Kröller-Müller from the notorious Berlin dealer Otto Wacker, the painting was eventually exposed as a fake created by Wacker’s brother, Leonhard. The exhibition, which runs until June 21, coincides with a new podcast detailing the history of the acquisition and the subsequent fraud trial that rocked the art world in the 1930s.

Zurich’s controversial Bührle Collection is rehung, including five paintings by Van Gogh—plus one forgery

The Kunsthaus Zurich has unveiled a comprehensive new display of the Emil Bührle Collection, featuring 205 works including five significant paintings by Vincent van Gogh and one acknowledged forgery. This reinstallation marks a shift from previous thematic displays focused on provenance research to a denser presentation of the collection's breadth. Notable works on view include a 1887 self-portrait and the masterpiece 'The Sower at Sunset,' though one Van Gogh remains in conservation and another has been withdrawn due to Nazi-era ownership complications.

Theater director Łukasz Twarkowski's new multimedia production, "ROHTKO," is set to open at London's Barbican Centre on October 2. The four-hour performance, which premiered in Riga in 2022, uses onstage action, video screens, and a techno soundtrack to explore the nature of authenticity in art, taking the Knoedler & Co. forgery scandal—which involved fake Rothko, Pollock, and Motherwell paintings—as a central narrative thread.

BGSU’s cultural connections to Italy inspire student-curated exhibition: ‘Italy in the Artist’s Imagination’

Bowling Green State University (BGSU) art history students have curated the exhibition 'Italy in the Artist's Imagination,' now on view at the Dorothy Uber Bryan Gallery until December 10. The show draws from the university's permanent collection and submissions from faculty, students, and alumni, all inspired by Italy. It highlights BGSU's long-standing study-abroad programs in Florence, including the now-closed Studio Art Centers International (SACI) and the International Studies Institute of Florence. During the curation process, students encountered authenticity questions regarding a set of Salvador Dalí prints, which led them to reframe the display as an interactive lesson on forgery detection.
