Forgeries, Fakes And Reproductions

ISBN: 9780856173257
Author: George Savage
Description:
There is a sensational element in the very idea of forgeries and fakes in art at a time when saleroom prices often appear to be remarkably high. Van Meergeren is the name that comes to most peoples minds when art forgery is mentioned, but it was circumstances rather than exceptional skill which brought him success. Master forgers like like Bastianini and Rouchomowsky, whose names are barely known to the general public would have disdained to recognise him as one of their number. In this book George Savage deliberately deals with the subject in a practical, scholarly and unsensational manner. He discusses from long experiences of many kinds of works of art, how forgeries, fakes, replicas, reproductions and deceptive copies are made, insofar as be known, and he does so in a way especially designed to help the collector to detect them. Illustrated with 32 b/w plates set in the middle pages.
