Kick off 2026 in good company, with a new set of films and ongoing discussions about art, film and life. If you love a good whodunit, our first feature film is for you!

About the Film: 

Was New York’s oldest commercial art gallery, the Knoedler, complicit in one of America’s largest art frauds? Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock and Clifford Still were some of the artists whose works were forged in a scheme involving collectors, art historians and art institutions in an eighty-million-dollar swindle. Who knew what and when? Will we ever really know? Maybe… 

Directed by Barry Avrich, Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art (2021) is a Canadian-made documentary that tries to find the answers in this fascinating look inside the world of art collecting.  

Organised by our Aging Artfully Committee, this film is followed by a guided conversation, tea, and cookies in our Education Studios.
