Made You Look Netflix

-

Not many scams go quite as hard as an art scam. Whereas the new Netflix documentar­y series This is a Robbery goes down the rabbit hole opened up by the unsolved 1990 Boston art robbery, the film Made You Look opens a different door with its tale of forgery in the upper echelons of the New York fine art world. Between the mysterious woman who turned up at a high-end art dealer’s house with a car boot full of Rothkos and Pollocks and the art dealer who bought them on sight and onsold them to her high-end clients, it’s hard to tell exactly who’s scamming whom, or how deep the conspiracy goes.
