Spot the fake!
July 13 2016
Picture: Sky Arts
Sky Arts is making a programme about seven fakes that have been hung at galleries across the UK. It's competition of sorts I think, and the idea is that if you can spot all seven, then you win a prize. The seven pictures are illustrated here among genuine works, so you can have a go at sleuthing online. It's pretty easy, I think you'll find - whoever made the fakes has not tried especially hard to mimic the Old Master ways. But I'm all in favour of things like this - anything to make people look more closely at the object. Well done to those participating galleries. More here.
