The Unsustainable Reproducibility of Art. From the Museum of Disappeared Works to the Lost Authenticity of the Artist.

Art has been copied, wrongly attributed and dispersed for multiple reasons since the dawn of time: on the trail of lost works, we visit a museum that does not exist, made up of the masterpieces that have not withstood the impact of history. Through an absorbing investigation covering a vast historical and geographical area, a reflection on the transience of every human creation, as a warning to value what is left and to better protect the art of the future.

On Wednesday 11 December, Noah Charney, art historian, author and founder of ARCA (Association for Research into Crimes against Art) and Fabio Vittucci, art historian, present the meeting The Unsustainable Reproducibility of Art. From the Museum of Disappeared Works to the Lost Authenticity of the Artist.
