Blink, Gladwell informs us, is about what goes on in the human mind in those few seconds. In short, it took years for experts to decide that the statue was a fake-the same information that other art historians had gotten in just a few seconds. In een aantal weblogs kunnen we lezen dat Gladwell een echte storyteller is, die niet alleen in zijn boeken aantrekkelijke verhalen vertelt, ook op het podium weet hij de toehoorder te boeien. Finally, experts discovered that it is possible to create a layer of calcite around a statue in a few years, rather than many centuries.

A few years later, it turned out that the art dealer who’d sold the statue to the Getty was a liar-the documents he’d produced to verify the statue’s legitimacy were proved to be forgeries. Another expert looked at the statue for a couple seconds and then told the Getty board of trustees not to buy it-she had an “instinctive sense” that something wasn’t right. Gladwell was born in England and grew up in rural Ontario. Prior to joining The New Yorker, he was a reporter at the Washington Post. He is the author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, and What the Dog Saw. There was a problem with the Getty statue-it just “didn’t look right.” One art historian who saw the statue for the first time decided that the statue was a fake almost immediately. Malcolm Gladwell has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1996.
