The convicted art fraudster Inigo Philbrick is out of prison and possibly seeking a return to art dealing. How is that possible? Tim Schneider, The Art Newspaper\\u2019s acting art market editor, tells us about Philbrick\\u2019s story, why the art trade is a natural habitat for fraud, and why a criminal past need not lead to art-world banishment.

And this episode\\u2019s Work of the Week is a sword associated with Ranjit Singh, the Maharaja who is the subject of a major exhibition opening next week at the Wallace Collection in London. Davinder Toor, the co-curator of the show, tells us more.
