Documenting a notorious episode in art authentication Perhaps nothing is more devastating to an art collection than the discovery that one of its beloved pieces is merely a replica of the real thing.

For the past decade, the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany has engaged in a systematic examination of its collection of Russian avant-garde paintings acquired by Peter and Irene Ludwig and donated to the museum in 2011. This fascinating volume presents 24 examples of diligent research completed in the name of authenticity.
