About this Item

A painting on a museum wall, wildly admired and praised by critics, is discovered to be a forgery. Does it therefore lose all aesthetic value? If experts cannot distinguish between an original and a forgery, why reject the forgery as inferior? Twelve writers explore different aspects to the art starting with Hans van Meegeren. 276pp illustrated in black and white. Book size 235x160mm.
