Description

Counterfeits by Mark Chrisler is a thought-provoking exploration of deception and duplicity through three distinct narratives. The book delves into the world of art forgery, featuring Johannes Vermeer as both an artist and a subject of controversy, while also examining the lives of those who create and sell false artworks. In addition to its artistic themes, Counterfeits also explores the story of Alan Turing, a British codebreaker whose work on artificial intelligence was later challenged by two pioneering robots, ELIZA and PARRY. This dark meditation on the nature of human existence is presented as a tribute to Turing's legacy. Through its unique blend of art history, philosophy, and science, Counterfeits offers a fascinating insight into the world of deception and authenticity.
