Listen "Stories of Authenticity"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we question what it means for art to be authentic. Drawing on theories from Gregory Curry and critics like Mark Sagoff, we examine how perfect copies, forgeries, and restorations challenge traditional ideas about originality and artistic intent. Does a replica share the soul of the original, or does its value lie in its history and the artist’s touch? Through fascinating examples and philosophical insights, we explore how context, process, and perception shape our connection to art and its authenticity.
