False Documents and Other Illusions, looks at the various ways in which contemporary artists approach the idea of  trompe l’oei, lillusion, or fooling the eye. It runs in conjunction with a traditional 19th-century  trompe l’oeil  painting show on view in another gallery called  John Haberle: Master of Illusion.

The New York Times Special Edition will be included in the show.
