Within discussion of art, this object is  an artwork intentionally misrepresented so as to appear substantially different from what it actually is. The fraud may effect first-degree properties of the work, such as its material constitution, artistic content or general appearance, but may also be applied to its historical background”. – Grove Art Online https://doi-org.ezp.lib.unimelb.edu.au/10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.T028958

There may be many forged works of art in museums and galleries around the world, and in private collections. Experts may be unaware if the forgery is accomplished cleverly, of the existence of a forged artwork, or they may be reluctant to admit they have been deceived. Sometimes the forger is more interested in getting the better of a dealer or collector than they are in their own financial gain. In such cases, transactions may be covered up and it is difficult to prove whether a criminal act has actually taken place. https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281145801 2018-09-14 05:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281145801 Repair something such as old paintings or buildings, so that it looks the same as when it was first made. https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281146031 2018-09-14 05:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281146031 Copying pre-existing works is legal, so long as the original work is in the public domain (meaning that the copyright on that work has expired). If, however, the copyright has not expired, the copyright owner has several exclusive rights, including the right to reproduce the copyrighted work and the right to sell the copyrighted work. This means that unless a defense such as fair use is available, the making of an unauthorized reproduction of a protected work (for example, copying another artist’s painting) is an infringement if the copy is substantially similar to the original. The unauthorized sale of an infringing copy may also be an infringement. https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281146497 2018-09-14 05:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281146497 Unlike a fake, a replica is not trying to pass for the original and is often made by the artist and used for historical and educational purposes. The vogue for collecting replicas reached the height of popularity in the mid to late nineteenth century when few people could afford to travel on the Continent, so museums acquired reproductions of important monuments and works of art to complement their collections.Replicas in modern art are made as a result of original works of art decaying or being lost. Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain, the most famous of the artist’s readymade sculptures, was replicated in collaboration with Duchamp from a photograph of the lost original.Tate holds the largest collection of plastic sculptures by Naum Gabo, but despite controlled storage conditions, many of these works are cracking and warping. Computer software can be used to help virtually restore the sculpture models, so that replicas can be made of the originals. https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281148762 2018-09-14 06:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281148762 walker_g https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281827001 2018-09-16 01:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS20018_wk8_fri_315pm/wish/281827001
