Jonathon Keats: Why Forgery is Today's Provocative Art

this guy looks like the geeky brother of Vincent Vega

I am inclined to agree.

Dat bow tie.

I thought this was a thumbnail for the onion dredging show at first.

Why must we over intellectualize everything. The best book I've read on art forgery is Ken Perenyi's  Caveat Emptor.  Of course the book was excellent because it was written by the artist......Not a professional writer/academic.  I understand what Keats is saying, it just seems like these guys are more impressed with their intellectual jujitsu than communicating an idea, theory, philosophy or story.   Read Kens book. 

I don't think I've ever heard someone describe being "scammed" quite like this.
