As some of you may know I am a contestant on the BBC show Fake or Fortune on the 4th August 2025 at 9pm. The iPlayer link is here with a bit more information on the show. You will have to find out if it’s a win or a dud. Either way, little money was lost.
Fiona Bruce and art expert Philip Mould investigate a potential missing work by trailblazing New Zealand-born modernist artist Frances Hodgkins that was bought for just £35 at an auction.

My new book on Nan Youngman and Pictures for Schools is out now!
