Marc has long been a collector of interesting and historical fakes and this talk centres on man’s age-old fascination with faking and forging. Citing some of the greatest exponents through history and illustrated with a plethora of challenging examples – including hands-on objects from Marc’s own collection – you are certain to never look at art antiques in the same way again!
