Listen "Fakes and Facades"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into the intriguing world of art forgeries and what they reveal about how we value art. Using Mark Sagoff’s insights, we explore how context, authenticity, and artistic intention shape our perception of beauty and meaning. From the perfect imitation of a masterpiece to the idea of a “cognitive impact” unique to originals, we examine why a forgery, no matter how flawless, alters our experience. Discover how the interplay between what we see and what we know changes the way we judge and appreciate art.
