DRIVEN TO ABSTRACTION unravels a mutating tale of self-delusion, greed, and fraud — the $80 million forgery scandal that rocked the art world and brought down Knoedler, New York City’s oldest and most venerable gallery. Was the gallery’s esteemed director the victim of a con artist who showed up with an endless treasure trove of previously unseen abstract expressionist masterpieces? Or did she eventually suspect they were fakes? Whatever the truth, two women from very different worlds crossed paths in what would become the greatest hoax ever of Modern American Art.

 

About the Filmmaker
Daria Price works in both documentary and narrative film. Making DRIVEN TO ABSTRACTION, she spent years following an art forgery hoax and the New York trial that exposed the scandalous habits of the art trade. New York State Council on the Arts and New York Women in Film & TV awarded the documentary completion grants, and Raindance Film Festival nominated it for “Best Documentary Feature.” Daria’s first feature OUT ON A LIMB won “Best Documentary” at the Boston International Film Festival and was broadcast throughout the USA and world. She wrote, directed, and edited the award-winning short SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, a satirical mystery that lampoons America’s obsession with youth and beauty. A screenwriter and script supervisor for many years, she is a member of Writers Guild of America East and IATSE. For info: www.driventoabstractiondocumentary.com
