CRIME STORY X FORGED
CBC’s CRIME STORY host Kathleen Goldhar interviews artist Adrian Stimson, host of FORGED, a new investigative podcast about what is believed to be the biggest art fraud in the world.
The late Norval Morriseau, known as the “Picasso of the North,” is one of the most celebrated Indigenous artists in the world. However, in recent years, his legacy has been undermined by a systemic and sordid scheme to manufacture fakes. Stimson, an artist from the Siksika Nation, follows a tip from a rockstar art collector and pulls back the curtain on the origin of the Morrisseau fakes.
Travelling from Thunder Bay to Australia’s Northern Territory, this riveting true crime story gets increasingly outrageous as it unravels, while never losing sight of the heart of the story—namely, Morrisseau’s staggering artistic genius. This is a conversation for true crime lovers, art enthusiasts and anyone who cares about the legacy and future of Indigenous lives.
