Art forgeries are counterfeit artworks created to deceive collectors and institutions into believing they are genuine. These forgeries can range from paintings to sculptures and often mimic the style of famous artists like Vincent van Gogh or Pablo Picasso. The goal is to sell these fakes at high prices, taking advantage of the art market's value. Detecting art forgeries can be challenging, as forgers use various techniques to replicate the original works. Experts often rely on scientific analysis, provenance research, and stylistic comparisons to identify fakes. Institutions like museums and auction houses invest in authentication processes to protect their collections from fraudulent pieces.
