Art and Craft

He puts the artist in con artist.

71%(36)IMDbDocumentary

For several decades, gifted and incredibly prolific forger Mark Landis compulsively created impeccable copies of works by a variety of major artists, donating them to institutions across the country and landing pieces on many of their walls. ART AND CRAFT brings us into the cluttered and insular life of an unforgettable character just as he finds his foil in an equally obsessive art registrar.

Directed byMark Becker, Sam Cullman, Jennifer Grausman
