The way changing the attribution of an artwork affects is value and reception is strange. If a painting worth nothing turns out to be a Rembrandt, it’s suddenly worth millions. Then if it turns out to be by someone else it’s worth nothing again. Meanwhile the painting is what it is and hasn’t changed. Either it’s a good painting or it isn’t. The hero worship matters more than the art. Re: @CStamp https://mastodon.social/@CStamp/116162464420726878
