Summary: De kunstwereld is tot op heden bezig de echte van de valse Van Goghs te onderscheiden. In 1928 ontdekte de expert J.B. de la Faille tot zijn schrik dat zijn Van Gogh-catalogus tientallen valse werken bevatte. Hij wilde ze uit de catalogus verwijderen, maar stuitte daarbij op verzet van onder anderen handelaren, verzamelaars en critici. Het zou het begin vormen van een heftige belangenstrijd in de kunstwereld. Henk Tromp toont de minder aangename kanten van deze wereld aan de hand van speciale archieven van organisaties en particulieren. Hij laat zien hoe bewondering voor Van Goghs werken en liefde voor de waarheid het soms afleggen tegen hebzucht, vrees voor gezichtsverlies, ideologische verblinding en politieke belangen.
