I just borrowed "False Impressions," Thomas Hovings relatively new book,
from the library.  The guy is incredible, brazen, self-congratulatory,
facile, and fascinating.  He posits the existence of a group of super
authenticators, that he calls "fakebusters."  He, of course, is among the
foremost.  He treats us to copies of his notes upon first seeing what
eventually proves to be a fake, showing his prescience and acuity.

But he is the closest thing the museum profession has to a superstar...and
there is some great dish on whopping big fakes that museums have been
suckered into buying.  Good read.
