FAKE! - II: IS IT ART?
Art fakes and forgeries give us the combined satisfaction of a crime mystery, and the profound contemplation of what we expect from art in the first place.

We will explore how forgers convince, how they are detected, and why authenticity matters, with a special focus on the question “Are fakes also art?”
