Detective Game
A world-famous painter is found dead in his private studio during his sold-out Paris retrospective. His final painting, valued at $30 million, has been slashed to ribbons. Who destroyed the masterpiece and its creator?
Thursday, April 17th — the Hahn Galerie on Avenue Matignon, one of the most prestigious contemporary art galleries in Paris. The occasion: the opening night of "FORGE: Thirty Years," a comprehensive retrospective of the work of Maximilian Forge, France's most commercially successful living painter.
Two hundred of the art world's most powerful figures filled the gallery's three public floors — collectors, museum directors, critics, celebrities, and fellow artists. Champagne flowed beneath the track lighting. The exhibition featured 87 paintings spanning Maximilian's entire career, from his raw early street art to the luminous "Camille in Light" series that had made him a household name.
4 people had the means, the motive, or the opportunity. Only one of them is the killer.
