This evening Christie's are holding an auction of Impressionist and Modern art predicted to be the most valuable art auction ever held in London.

As the National Gallery mounts an exhibition of paintings exposed as fakes and mistakes, the gallery's head of scientific research, Dr Ashok Roy, joins art critic Sarah Kent to discuss the problems with authenticity in art and the latest techniques used to detect forgeries Are we losing our better selves by spending our lives in offices? Matthew Crawford, philosopher, mechanic and author of The Case for Working with your Hands argues that consumer culture encourages detatchment from the objects on which our daily lives depend. And Susannah Clapp reviews Welcome to Thebes by Moira Buffini at the National Theatre.
