How do art forgers operate?
<|assistant|>
Art forgers typically operate by creating a forgery from an original art work by reproducing it using different methods, such as replication, manipulation, or a combination of both. They may use a variety of techniques and materials to make the forged artwork appear genuine. Art forgeries have been perpetrated both for financial gain and for reasons of publicly misattributing artworks, in order to give a false reputation to a forged work or to legitimize a piece of altered art.
