(The Expert Versus the Object)
It can be hard to determine what's fake and what's real in the art world. Ronald Spencer is here to talk about the authenticity of visual art; he’s joined by art historian Francis V. O'Connor and Michael Findlay, director of Acquavella Galleries. Julian Gregory discusses his one-man show "My Life Not in Pictures." Then Constance Hays gives on insider’s view of the rise of Coca-Cola, now an American icon and perhaps the world’s most powerful brand. Hong Kong film star Stephen Chow talks about the making of his latest movie, 'Shaolin Soccer.' And David Auburn, prize-winning playwright, on his stage adaptation of 'The Journals of Mihail Sebastian".
