What are some things that art collectors look for when it comes to counterfeiting?
<|assistant|>
Art collectors generally look for inconsistencies in the painting such as changes in color, brush strokes, paper texture, and signature irregularities. They also pay attention to the documentation accompanying the artwork, such as attribution, authenticity certificates, provenance, and exhibit record. They might also research public records, examine photos of the artwork in other galleries, and speak to gallerists or museum curators who may be familiar with the piece. Finally, art collectors look for indicators such as improbable bargains and untracked movement of art objects which could be signs of counterfeiting or fraud.
