Spot the fake, by Deleted on Jan 14, 2015 10:25:54 GMT 1, Dulwich Picture Gallery experiments with 'fake' painting
www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-30793406
Dulwich Picture Gallery has paid $120 (£79) to a Chinese studio to produce a copy of an Old Master painting, challenging visitors to spot the fake among its permanent collection
Director Ian Dejardin said the experiment was "an intervention" that questioned the significance and value of original art.
"It will provoke a new way of looking at our collection," he said.
The identity of the replica, Made In China, will be revealed in April.
Conceptual artist Doug Fishbone came up with the idea, selecting the original work and commissioning the copy from one of China's numerous exporters of handmade oil paintings.
Southern China is the world's leading centre for mass-produced works of art.
The studios and workshops in the Dafen Village produce five million replicas a year for the global art market.
Fishbone hopes the experiment will raise questions about the nature and importance of an original work versus a replica.
"In the West, we see replicas as very problematic, as 'fakes' perhaps, whereas in China the notion of copying cultural artefacts is seen totally differently," he said.
"The idea of placing a Chinese replica in a Western museum then seemed like a loaded and exciting gesture. How do we see replicas in the West, and how does the institutional context in which a painting is exhibited effect how we react to it?"

Makes me wonder over the years what have been recognised as fakes by museums and auction houses (or ignored :/ )
Time for google  I would love the chance to go view and try to guess personally think that it is a great idea.

Spot the fake, by WILLYBKLN on Jan 14, 2015 22:50:06 GMT 1, My friend actually got a few interesting pieces made up in China for about 30-50$ a piece (Mozart, Rembrandt, Van Gogh), and all I can say is WOW do they have some mutant replicating powers. From what I hear, they giclee print the image on the canvas and then have people hand paint it, for the price you pay it surely is a "steal".

Hard to see the depth, but there are layers of paint just like the OG's....pretty insane, beats a computer printout.
