Beauty is on the eye of the beholder

Beauty is on the eye of the beholder, and that is how we judge real from fake. I recently watch Real Fake, Jeff Oppenheim's fascinating documentary on the art, life, and crimes of Elmyr de Hory. It not only immerses the viewer in the runaway and unregulated art market, but the film also takes you on a journey of the expert's world and the reliance on "provenance" "connoisseurship" as well as the fascinating new science of "art forensics." The film features many global art experts that are as accessible and knowledge as they are charming and even funny. The filmmaker's down to earth approach to art, and his playful narrative (and sometimes appearance) guide the viewer on an incredible and complex journey to better understand Elmyr de Hory. Ultimately the film stirs a deep conversation that continues well past the film about beauty, truth, and value in something so subjective as art.

Real Fake: The Art, Life and Crimes of Elmyr de Hory, is an incredible story of art, ego, money, unmitigated gall, and the search for truth. You may never look at a painting in a museum again without wondering; " is this a real Picasso or a real fake?"

Thought this was a fascinating documentary about an artist who painted "in the style of" famous painters such as Picasso and Modigliani, and who fooled a lot of people in the art world for a long time. An interesting insight into determining provenance and authenticating artwork. De Hory fooled a lot of people and lived the good life in Ibiza until it all came crashing down. But you can't help but wonder how many of his paintings are still out there.
