FAKE ART

The history of art is also a history of copies, citations, and appropriations.

For centuries, copying a master meant learning. Then the original, the signature, and the author became central. In the twentieth century, however, art called everything back into question: pre-existing images were replicated, transformed, and made new.

FAKE ART starts from here.

Picasso and Warhol become icons to be altered, overwritten, and deformed.

The inscription THIS IS A FAKE does not hide the fake: it declares it.

And so the question changes:
if we know it is fake, what are we really looking at?
