Fake or Fortune?

Season 11 Episode 4: Arshile Gorky

A canvas given to the owner’s late husband by Arshile Gorky’s widow may conceal an important early painting beneath a layer of white household paint. Research in Britain and the United States identifies possible lost compositions, while conservation tests raise a difficult question: whether removing the white layer would reveal a masterpiece or destroy part of the artist’s own history.
