    Evening lecture and book-signing: Fakes and Forgeries with Robert Wittman. Long an undercover FBI agent and founder of the FBI's Art Crime Team, Robert Wittman, author of The New York Times Best Seller Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures is undercover no more--but he remains active, and passionate, about the world's art and cultural heritage. In this new talk, Mr. Wittman, now head of Robert Wittman, Inc., an art security and recovery consulting firm, looks at some of the great fakes and forgeries of recent years, including the recent, much-publicized Antiques Roadshow fraud caper, and offers insight into how museums and others can be on the alert for questionable "treasures".
