COVER STORY
Stealing
Kurt Andersen and music critic Greg Tate talk about why creative people feel the need to steal from each other.

Makin’ Copies
The word “forgery” conjures up a shadowy network of cynical brilliant craftsmen and dealers conning naïve clients with perfectly faked Old Masters. Eric Doeringer is the rare contemporary art forger who wants full credit for his copying. Matthew Schuerman stumbled across Doeringer hawking his forged art work on the sidewalks of New York City.

Uta Hagen
Lisa, a young, insecure author is desperate for material. She gains the trust of a writing teacher and unearths a secret the teacher has guarded for years—and then Lisa turns that secret into her first novel. That’s the plot of “Collected Stories” a play by Donald Margulies. The legendary Uta Hagen played the role of the teacher late in her career. Hagen died earlier this year, at the age of 84. Pamela Renner spoke with the actress just as Collected Stories was about to open.

It’s the long-anticipated follow-up to Wilco’s breakthrough record, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which was many rock critics’ overwhelming favorite two years ago. Jeff Tweedy and his band stop by Studio 360 to talk to Kurt and play him some new songs.
