Книга: Adam Lerner «From Russia With Doubt: The Quest to Authenticate 181 Would-Be Masterpieces of the Russian Avant-Garde»
Производитель: "Неизвестный" In 2010 the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver director Adam Lerner did something unheard of in the museum world: he mounted a large exhibition of paintings without first knowing whether they were real or fakes. Painted in the Suprematist and Constructivist style of early twentieth-century Russian avant-garde masters, the 181 canvases had been acquired by amateur collectors Ron and Roger Pollard from a mysterious seller in Germany they met on eBay who claimed the paintings were found in an abandoned shipping container held in German customs since the 1980s. In From Russia with Doubt, Lerner skillfully weaves together the tale from the initial eBay find to his controversial decision to exhibit the collection guiding readers through the looking glass into the Byzantine corridors of the art world and beyond, describing the owners` quest to authenticate and appraise the would-be masterpieces. What he finds raises powerful questions about our own relationship to art. ISBN:1616891629 Издательство: "Неизвестный" (2013)

Contributions
At The Lab, Lerner developed a unique approach to presenting cultural content that combines expertise with humor and chance. In an article on Lerner in Surface Magazine, Aric Chen described one of his public events as follows: “A collision of highbrow and low, it presents odd-couple, head-to-head pairings between, say, a tequila connoisseur and an expert on dark energy in the Universe that tease out disparate approaches to knowledge with geeky brilliance.” [Aric Chen, “Adam Lerner,” Surface 68, November 2007, pp. 144-5.] This style has been characterized as “intellectual whimsy,” an approach which has precursors in the
