	Art forgery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Art forgery means creating and especially selling works of art that are falsely attributed to be work of other, usually more famous artists.
		Art forgery is extremely lucrative, but modern dating and analysis techniques make the identification of a piece of art much simpler.
		Although many art forgers are in he business solely for money, some have claimed that they have created forgeries to expose the credulity and snobbishness of the art world, essentially claiming that they have performed only hoaxes of exposure.

	Forgery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Forgery is one of the techniques of fraud, including identity theft.
		Forgery is one of the threats that have to be addressed by security engineering.
		Where the prime concern of a forgery is less focused on the object itself— what it is worth or what it "proves"— than on a tacit statement of criticism that is revealed by the reactions the object provokes in others, then the larger process is a hoax.

	forgery, in art. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Because the provenance of works of art is seldom clear and because their origin is often judged by means of subtle factors, art forgery has always been commonplace.
		Forgeries are distinguished from falsifications, which include copies or even mechanical reproductions not initially meant to pass for the original, in that they are intended to defraud.
		Art falsification and forgery are ancient endeavors, but they were not so widely practiced before the collection of antiques came into vogue (see antique collecting) or before the cult of artistic personalities developed.

	Denis Dutton on Forgery and Plagiarism
		Forgery and plagiarism are normally defined in terms of work presented to a buyer or audience with the intention to deceive.
		Forgery for Danto is a matter of a falsified history of an object, and works of art do not always “wear their histories on their surfaces.” Danto regards art works as constituted by the ideas they embody and express; they are surrounded by an “atmosphere is theory” which makes them what they are.
		Forgery is not a victimless crime, even if the forger is successful and “no one knows.” For the real victim is then our general understanding of the history of art and of human vision.

	Denis Dutton on authenticity in art
		Forgery episodes such as van Meegeren’s Vermeers are unproblematic in terms of nominal authenticity: there is a perfectly clear divide between the authentic Vermeers and the van Meegeren fakes.
		Authenticity often implies that the original indigenous audience for an art is still intact; inauthenticity that the original audience is gone, or has no interest in the art, and that the art is now being created for a different audience, perhaps for foreign consumption.
		Still, his broader description of works of art, tribal or European, is generally apt, along with its corollary is that the study of art is largely a matter of marking and tracing relationships and influences.

	Denis Dutton on art forgery
		If the existence of forgeries — and their occasional acceptance as authentic works of art — has been too often dismissed or ignored in the theory of criticism, it may be because of the forger’s special power to make the critic look ridiculous.
		Since all art can be seen under the aspect of performance, whether or not the art in question is conventionally called “performing,” there exists always the possibility that the nature of the achivement involved in the performance may be misrepresented or misunderstood.
		In emphasizing the importance of the notion of performance in understanding art, I have centered attention on the extent to which works of art are the end-products of human activities, on the degree to which they represent things done by human agents.

	Denis Dutton on art forgery
		In this respect the forgery of works of art resembles hoaxes in other fields: whether the faker presents the world with a fragment of a flying saucer, the burial cloth of Jesus, or a mermaid preserved in formaldehyde, it is necessary to invent a provenance for the object.
		His last forgeries in fact were hardly anything like authentic Vermeers, but because curators and buyers had their understanding of the Vermeer style warped by the earlier forgeries, van Meegeren was able to get away with it.
		With the rise of modernism in the twentieth century in art, and the subsequent decline of painting technique, craftsmanship, and historical copying as a teaching method, the age of forgery of old works of art is probably for the most part past.

		Incendentally, an old art book published in 1957, "Art of the Philippines 1521-1957", shows the said painting as a color foldout, one possible source for the amateur forger (if the fake was really done in 1965) to work on.
		The Art Association of the Philippines, on its part, has drafted a position paper addressed to the Senate, when it briefly deliberated on bills that would have made art forgery a specific crime.
		In addition, tougher penalties for forgery were recommended, such as a maximum fine of P500,000 ($11,627) and imprisonment; payment of damages to the artist and his/her heirs; and to impound and (most significantly) destroy the forgery.

		Forgery in art, the fabrication of an art object with intent to deceive a purchaser as to its true origin, is as ancient as the practice of collecting.
		Every kind of art has inspired spurious reproductions, and the history of forgery reflects changes in taste, since the forger supplies a demand for coveted objects and follows the preferences of the time.
		Art objects other than paintings require different methods of detection: an object consisting of an organic material such as wood can be dated fairly accurately by the radio-carbon technique, providing the object was made between 1,000 and 50,000 years ago.

		It was a pure fluke that the unwitting owner of the Tokyo forgery decided to resell his copy at the same time.
		In each case of forgery, the complaint says, Sakhai bought a little-known painting by a modern master, faked it, and then sold both the knockoff and the real one.
		The forger knew this secret of the art world: It is tolerant of frauds, so long as the victims are in far-off places like Tokyo and too humiliated to raise a fuss.

		According to the Complaint, the painting SAKHAI sold to Purchaser-1 was revealed to be a forgery after it was consigned to a gallery in Zurich, Switzerland, which arranged for experts to examine the painting.
		After several re-sales, the forgery was consigned to Christie's, in Manhattan, and at a November 1997 auction it was sold to an individual collector.
		Finally, in partial settlement of his debt for the forged Monet, SAKHAI sent the art dealer in Paris, France, the authentic Chagall painting, "Le Roi David Dans Le Paysage Vert," without disclosing to the art dealer that he had acquired and sold a forgery of that very painting to Purchaser-5 in Taiwan.

		The news broke on Thursday, and it fell to me to produce a side-bar on the history of art forgery to supplement a reporter's account of the current scandal.
		Saarinen's riddle is quoted at the head of ''Art and Authenticity,'' a chapter from philosopher Nelson Goodman's 1968 book ''Languages of Art'' that is included in Denis Dutton's 1983 anthology ''The Forger's Art.'' All 11 of the writers who contribute essays to ''The Forger's Art'' address the question in one way or another.
		There are many criteria by which we place ''value'' on works of art; the one that counts the most has to be the one connected with our aesthetic experience of the work.
