Two Expert Book Reviews for the Price of One...
Lunch with Books, noon, Tuesday, Sept. 13, Ohio County Public Library
Tim Luke will review two books - “Priceless: How I went Undercover to Rescue the World’s Stolen Treasures” by Robert K. Wittman and “Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art” by Laney Salisbury. Luke will bring his unique, insider perspective to these actual events, which changed the way artwork is vetted, sold at auction and protected around the world.
