Lesson 1:

INTRODUCTION

What should you be able to do as a counterfeiter?

“First of all, you have to know as much as possible about an artist, read books, watch documentaries. It's also a matter of looking very carefully and always trying, trying, the trash can is full until you have something that you dare to show to an expert."

“And then the aging process: that is very important. A painting that must have been painted fifty years ago should also look like this, also from the back. Because that's the first thing the expert looks at."
