Gentle Art of Faking
'Gentle Art of Faking' Summary
Riccardo Nobili's 'The Gentle Art of Faking' is a compelling study of art forgers and their place in history. Instead of solely focusing on the forger, the book delves into the broader ecosystem of deception within the art world, including the 'faker' and the role of the middleman who facilitates their activities. The author meticulously traces the evolution of faking methods throughout different historical periods, exposing the tricks employed by forgers to deceive collectors and exploit the market. By investigating the motivations behind these actions, the book provides an intriguing perspective on the delicate balance between artistic creation, commercialization, and the desire for authenticity. It ultimately presents a nuanced understanding of a complex phenomenon, exploring the intersection of art, history, and human nature, while offering a glimpse into the dark underbelly of the art world.Book Details
