“Giving an impression of future return” has a wide spectrum...from outright lies, to willful misleading, to over-confident misrepresentation, to accidental miscommunication, etc.
Does a work of art have any objective value? Well, the value is generated by society being pursuaded that it has value. It’s ability to continue to sustain value is dependent on continual re-buy-in of that premise.
- lr4444lr 9y agoWhat I'm saying is, there is a sharp difference between saying in 1895 when the young Picasso was still in training, to have taken a signed sketch he had thrown away and said "this is a work of art by an up and coming artist named Picasso - he's going to be one of the most renowned artists in the next century. I'll let you have it at a great deal", and making your own sketch last week with a forged Picasso's signature and saying "this is a genuine early work of Picasso". I don't see any ambiguity about the latter.
