My reason for posting has to do with the business of forgery and trickery and the fact that the very elect can be deceived due to their greed and sometimes their desperate wishes to make something real that is not.

It seems you are pretty good at detecting "fakes" of all kinds. There are tricksters posing as "oh, so good consevatives" here on FR too.

Thanks for posting the thread.

Hofmann has always been of interest to me. Back in the day we had partners in the business whose gallery was on South Main Street. At the time, they were next door to one of the rare documents dealers including Hofmann.

I read with great interest Lindsay’s book and had met or was acquainted with a few of the players.

In San Francisco there was an art dealer named Mark Hoffman. We had great fun discussing the irony of names over a dry martini. Hoffman was a very honest dealer however.

BTW, all the really strong “art dealers” are conservative business people.
