Genuine Fakes: How Phony Things Teach Us About Real Stuff

byLydia Pyne

Does an authentic Andy Warhol painting need to be painted by Andy Warhol? Genuine Fakes rests its case on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. Genuine Fakes also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in science and true crime. The book leaves readers with a clearer understanding of how phony things teach us about real stuff and of the unresolved questions that continue beyond its final chapter.
