Friends of the Museums Monday Morning Lecture - Art Forgery - Layers of Deception
Art forgery is almost as old as art itself. With a focus on paintings, this talk discusses art forgery from the past to the present and how it can be detected using modern forensics.
In addition to analysing the most successful forgers of the recent past and their motivations, techniques and strategies for deception, the talk also explores how collectors are affected by the fakes and forgeries circulating in the art world.
