""Fake Masterpieces"" explores the captivating and deceptive world of art forgery, revealing how skilled counterfeiters exploit vulnerabilities within the art market. It exposes the profound consequences that ripple through museums and private collections, challenging our understanding of authenticity. The book argues that art forgery is more than just a crime; it's a complex phenomenon that exposes the subjective nature of art appreciation. For instance, the story of Han van Meegeren, who famously fooled the Nazis with his ""Vermeers,"" highlights how even the most discerning eyes can be deceived. The book begins by introducing core concepts like authentication and the art market, then progresses through various case studies. A significant portion is dedicated to the Beltracchi scandal, a contemporary case involving sophisticated techniques and a vast network. By examining the techniques forgers use to replicate master artists and the failures of authentication, the book reveals weaknesses in a system built on connoisseurship and scientific analysis. It ultimately proposes ways to improve authentication methods and encourages a more critical approach to art appreciation.

The infamous literary prank that fooled a legion of art critics in the 1990s Artist Nathwell Tate was born in 1928 in Union Beach, New Jersey. On January 8 1960 he contrived to round up and burn almost his entire output of Abstract Expressionism. Four days later he killed himself. This book offers an account of Tate's life and work. --- When William Boyd published his biography of New York modern artist Nat Tate, a huge reception of critics and artists arrived for the launch party, hosted by David Bowie, to toast the late artist's life. Little did they know that the painter Nat Tate, a depressive genius who burned almost all his output before his suicide, never existed. The book was a hoax, and the art world had fallen for it. Nat Tate is a work of art unto itself - an investigation of the blurry line between the invented and the authentic, and a thoughtful tour through the spirited and occasionally ludicrous American art scene of the 1950s.

"[P]rovides a treasure trove of information that will engage readers intrigued by but new to the subject of art forgery as well as those with an art or art history background." Booklist, Starred Review Forgery is a provocative presence in the art world that captures attention in the press and inspires books about the exploits of famous fraudsters as well as scholarly articles and monographs. But missing until now has been a big-picture look at the phenomenon of art forgery. The Many Faces of Art Forgery provides a uniquetreatment that features historical highlights, philosophical insights, psychological profiles, economic theories, and legal statutes and cases. Key features include: The story of art forgery from antiquity to the present, including 80 named forgers, the tricks of their trade, and the social forces that ensure the existence of their enterprise.How scientific analysis is both effective and limited in exposing art fakes.Multiple definitions for the term “forgery” as applied to art.The effect on authenticity in legal terms, philosophical terms, and public opinion when an artwork undergoes extensive restoration, or artists hire surrogates to make their works, or they appropriate images from otherartists or styles from indigenous cultures.Forgers’ mentalities: their motivations, rationalizations, and strategies.The ethics of art forgery: from criminality to esteem for fooling experts.The possibility and aesthetic worth of a “perfect fake.”In all, readers will understand the substantial place forgery occupies in the realm of art, as well as that what constitutes authentic versus inauthentic is not always clear-cut, nor are legal and moral judgments about forgery. In conveying this message, the author provides a wealth of information in an accessible and engaging style suitable for experts and general readers alike.

Forgery in Art explores the fascinating, deceptive world where fake artwork can command millions, challenging our understanding of art history and the art market. The book investigates how art forgery threatens the integrity of artistic legacy, compelling us to question the authenticity of long-accepted masterpieces. It delves into the psychology of the forger, the evolution of forgery techniques, and the scientific methods used for detection. The book analyzes the motivations behind forgery, driven by a mixture of artistic talent, financial need, and ego. It traces how forgery techniques have advanced, from simple replication to complex schemes involving artificial aging and false provenance. The book then details the scientific advancements, such as pigment analysis, that have transformed art authentication. Through case studies of notorious figures like Han van Meegeren, known for his Vermeer forgeries, and Elmyr de Hory, who deceived galleries worldwide, the book reveals the diverse strategies used in art fraud. Organized into three parts, the book first defines art forgery and its legal and ethical implications. It then presents case studies of famous forgers and finally examines the science of authentication, including microscopic and x-ray analysis. Forgery in Art uniquely blends historical and scientific perspectives, providing a comprehensive look at art forgery and its impact on our appreciation of art.

The Great Art Hoax exposes the real fakery and hypocrisy of the art world: how art is manufactured and marketed; how the pathology of private possession drives up the price; and how false art is hyped as true art to the tune of millions of dollars. Jon Huer demonstrates convincingly that what the art market deals as art need not be "art" at all.

“Must reading for any true-crime fan . . . [a] diverse, colorful crew of art-gallery grifters and scammers . . . Highly recommended!” —Howie Carr, New York Times–bestselling author Art scams are today so numerous that the specter of a lawsuit arising from a mistaken attribution has scared a number of experts away from the business of authentication and forgery, and with good reason. Art scams are increasingly convincing and involve incredible sums of money. The cons perpetrated by unscrupulous art dealers and their accomplices are proportionately elaborate. Anthony M. Amore’s The Art of the Con tells the stories of some of history’s most notorious yet untold cons. They involve stolen art hidden for decades; elaborate ruses that involve the Nazis and allegedly plundered art; the theft of a conceptual prototype from a well-known artist by his assistant to be used later to create copies; the use of online and television auction sites to scam buyers out of millions; and other confidence scams incredible not only for their boldness but more so because they actually worked. Using interviews and newly released court documents, The Art of the Con will also take the reader into the investigations that led to the capture of the con men, who oftentimes return back to the world of crime. For some, it’s an irresistible urge because their innocent dupes all share something in common: they want to believe. “An engrossing read about brazen, artful scams.” —Kirkus Reviews “A riveting, fast-moving account of shameless fraudsters who wreak havoc on the art world. A must read!” —Brian T. Kelly, former Assistant United States Attorney
