Description

Fakes, Forgeries, and Frauds is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of authenticity in an age of uncertainty. Nancy Moses delves into nine fascinating true stories that reveal the complexities of faking, foraging, and deception. From the 1790s to modern times, these stories expose the art world's dark underbelly, where con artists and forgers have manipulated reality to achieve their goals. The book also probes deeper questions about the meaning of authenticity and the blurred lines between fact and fiction. With over 30 full-color photos, Fakes, Forgeries, and Frauds is a visually engaging examination of the human desire for truth and the power of deception in shaping our understanding of the world.
