FLINT — Laney Salisbury, author of the book, Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art, will be the guest lecturer at the Flint Institute of Arts on Jan. 15 at 4 p.m as part of the Bray Lecture Series.
Salisbury will discuss the fastpaced and fascinating thriller about the darker side of the art world, which she co-authored with fellow investigative reporter Aly Sujo, in what Scotland Yard called the “biggest art fraud of the 20th century.”

In addition, a discussion of the book, Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art, will be held on Jan. 27 and Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. in Isabel Hall.
