SUMMARY:Art Fakes and Forgeries with Serdar Arat
DESCRIPTION:Art fakes and forgeries provide the satisfaction of a criminal mystery and inspire contemplation of our expectations of art.

Join art historian Serfer Arart for an exploration of how forgers convince\, how they are detected\, and why authenticity matters. \nAbout the Presenter: Serdar Arat is an artist working in NY since 1980. He has nearly forty individual exhibitions\, mostly in NYC and Istanbul\, and more than sixty group exhibitions. His work has been reviewed in half a dozen New York Times articles\, a monograph\, catalogs\, and a documentary.

SUMMARY:Challah and Conversation: Shelter Us!

These are on the 2nd\, 3rd\, 4th\, and 5th Fridays of each month.
