The Dulwich Picture Gallery in London is set to open a new exhibition that invites the public to question their understanding and appreciation of real and fake art.
The exhibition, named "Made in China: A Doug Fishbone Project", opens on Feb 10 and replaces a priceless painting with a commissioned replica from China. Visitors and art experts are invited to try to spot the fake, which will be unveiled by the gallery after three months.
Fishbone, the artist behind the project, says the exhibition encourages the public to question what makes art valuable while alluding to the serious problem of counterfeits.
The replica was made by a studio in Xiamen in eastern China’s Fujian province for 120 pounds, roughly 180 US dollars, after Fishbone sent over digital images of the painting.
Dulwich Picture Gallery n. 多维茨画廊 位于伦敦南部的多维茨地区,是英国建立的第一座公共美术馆。馆内主要收藏了16、17世纪欧洲众多大师级的艺术作品,如鲁本斯、伦勃朗、凡•戴克等等。多维茨画廊是世界上收藏著名大师作品最多的博物馆之一,具有很高的艺术和欣赏价值。
Doug Fishbone 道格•弗西伯恩,一位在伦敦生活和工作的美国艺术家。他和多维茨画廊合作,推出了这次名为Made in China(中国制造)的展览。该展览的展出品中包含一幅名画的复制品,参观者可以自行“找茬”,挑出这副“赝品”。该复制品由厦门的一家油画公司监制完成,所以展览取名为Made in China。究竟哪幅画是复制品?谜底将在三个月后揭晓。(BTW,该展览今天开幕哦!)
