Philosophers' Café
How important is authenticity in art?
What changes when we discover that a beloved Vermeer is actually a skillfully painted Van Meegeren? Does the restoration of a sculpture change the work? When Rauschenberg, as an emerging artist, erased a drawing by de Kooning, an established artist, did he destroy a work or create a new one?
