Morisseau forgery documentary There are No Fakes asks what the value of art, and a good story, is
THERE ARE NO FAKES (Documentary, 2018). Pictured: The painting -- Spirit Energy of Mother Earth. After spending $20,000 at a reputable Toronto gallery to purchase Spirit Energy of Mother Earth, Kevin Hearn (of the Barenaked Ladies) was surprised to discover the authenticity of his Morrisseau canvas being called into question. His decision to sue the art dealer spurs an investigation into the painting's provenance, and so begins the unravelling of an art fraud ring with fighting factions, all claiming to be the true protectors of the Anishinaabe painter's legacy—and all of whom happen to be white.
