SUMMARY:KC Oasis Sunday Gathering — Featured speaker: Paul Benson\, "Famous Art Forgers and How They Were Exposed"
DESCRIPTION:Musical guest: Maddie Lai (https://www.instagram.com/maddieglai/?hl=en)\nCommunity moment: Russ Hill\nFeatured speaker: Paul Benson\, “Famous Art Forgers and How They Were Exposed” \nWho is or was the world’s greatest art forger? We don’t know because they were/are so talented they haven’t been discovered yet! Today\, we’ll see how some of the less talented forgers were exposed. \nPaul joined the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in 1992 and has recently retired. During his 25+ years there\, he served as a Conservator of Objects\, where he was involved in examining\, advising on\, and treating three-dimensional art objects made from all types of materials. He also has a private conservation business where he treats art objects for museums and private owners\, and outdoor sculptures and fountains for municipalities and homeowners associations in the greater Kansas City area. \nPaul received a BS in Geology in 1972 from Kent State University. He worked in geophysical exploration for the oil industry in the U.S.\, South America\, and in the South Pacific from 1973 to 1986. After being laid off during the oil crisis of 1986 he changed careers and entered the art conservation field. He received a BSc in Archaeological Conservation and Material Science in 1991 from the Institute of Archaeology\, University of London. Summers during the conservation training program were spent at the British Museum Organics Conservation Lab and at the English Heritage Rescue Archaeology Lab. \nBy participating in this event\, you agree to abide by the Oasis Code of Conduct (http://www.kcoasis.org/about-oasis/code-of-conduct/).
