Eh, splitting hairs, but it's 'fake' only in the sense of art forgery -- one of the paintings is in fact painted by the big-name artist, while the other one, no less marvellous in its execution and visually indistinguishable, isn't. Since only the two painters know for sure, the rest of the world relies on other people's word.
