Seven Art Films for Fall Viewing Include Knoedler Forgery Documentary and Han van Meegeren Drama

As autumn arrives, a curated selection of seven art-related films offers viewers the chance to engage with art from home. Among them, Made You Look (2020) is a documentary—not satire—that recounts an $87 million art fraud involving the Knoedler Gallery. Established in 1846, the gallery shuttered in 2011 after being implicated in selling counterfeit works attributed to artists such as Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock, but actually created by an individual in a Queens, New York garage. The Last Vermeer (2020), adapted from a novel, dramatizes the true story of Han van Meegeren. The list is presented as a seasonal guide for those seeking cultural inspiration without leaving their living rooms, with each film catering to different tastes.
