Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
By most accounts, Han van Meegren was a mediocre painter. But the Dutch artist proved a master at forging works by the great painter Johannes Vermeer. And he used his genius for deception to fool fellow-artists, collectors, and Nazi occupiers. Author Edward Dolnick joins Kojo to discuss a true story of intrigue at the intersection of high art and low crime.
