Art Fraud
Art fraud refers to the creation or sale of artworks that are falsely attributed to famous artists or are misrepresented in terms of their authenticity, age, or value. This can involve forgeries, where a piece is made to look like the work of a renowned artist, or the use of misleading documentation to support a false claim.
The impact of art fraud can be significant, leading to financial losses for collectors, galleries, and museums. Notable cases often involve high-profile artists like Pablo Picasso or Vincent van Gogh, where forgers exploit the demand for their works to deceive buyers.
