About this audio guide
This guide to the Orlando Museum of Art follows the morning in June 2022 when federal agents walked in and began pulling twenty-five paintings off the walls, all supposedly lost works by Jean-Michel Basquiat. You'll hear the museum director's story of how they surfaced, from a stay at Larry Gagosian's house to a television writer's storage unit, and the shipping label a reporter spotted that didn't add up. Listen for how the museum's own hired expert responded once she saw it.
