An art historian raised the alarm after noticing that paintings attributed to Etienne Terrus showed buildings that were only constructed after the artist’s death in 1922. Hmm...OK, that is a little suspicious, I'll have to grant that. The Rembrandt I have of the Washington Monument probably needs checking.

City Of Death from vintage Dr. Who comes to mind.
The Doctor wrote “this is a fake” on some extra Mona Lisas Leonardo painted up.
A favorite serial.

Why don't artists fake some Rothko's or Jackson Pollock's?
Seems like they would be easy to make and
palm off on the airhead art elites.

But my painting of Elvis on a 1993 Harley is still genuine, right?

A state-owned French art museum has discovered that more than half of its collection consists of worthless fakes and experts fear that other public galleries may also be stuffed with forgeries. Since the value of all art is no more than that value placed upon it by those who accept that it has value why is that art suddenly worth less because its providence is in question?
If this art is now believed to be produced by a different artist is its quality suddenly less?
If the painting was of good enough quality to be by Rembrandt yesterday is its quality now somehow less because it is painted by Armstrong?

Not the least bit surprised so many are fakes, only that the museum admitted it. This is likely the same for every museum and collection around the world.

who saw fake works of art, Fake?
Are the images not really hanging on the wall? Are they not paintings?
Nonsense! They're real enough; not fake at all.
They're just painted by someone other than the one to whom they're attributed.
Which raises an interesting question: Are they any good? If they're rubbish, they shouldn't be hanging on the wall. If they're good, the real artist should get credit for them.

Yves Barniol, the mayor of Elne, near the Spanish border, said: “It’s a catastrophe. I put myself in the place of all the people who came to visit the museum, who saw fake works of art, who paid an entrance fee. It’s intolerable and I hope we find those responsible.” I don't understand; call me stupid, ignorant or whatever.
If it took that long to discover they were fakes, but they were enjoyed for a long time as real, admired and enjoyed, what disqualifies them as "works of art?"

In other news, museums have discovered that their modern art collections are all authentic but worthless.

See, this is why I never spend 100s of 1000s of dollars on artwork. Well, this, plus I don’t have 100s of 1000s of dollars.
