How do art forgers operate?
<|assistant|>
Art forgers usually begin with buying reproductions or cheap imitations of the artist’s work, such as posters or prints. They then modify these copies to make them look as genuine as possible. This involves adding subtle alterations such as adding texture or color contrasts or removing or replacing certain elements in the original art. Forgers often forge signatures and date pieces in order to make them look more valuable or rare. They may also use new or false identities to make sales or hide the true identity of the art.
