The Problem of Art Forgery
PLÁŠILOVÁ, Lenka
This bachelor thesis will deal with the issue of counterfeit and stylishly imitated works of art, their identity with a focus on theoretical problems that the existence of falsified artworks brings. Firstly, the most famous examples of revealed artistic falsum will be introduced. Consequently, I will analyze aesthetic and ethical problems caused by the phenomenon of artistic falsification. An important part of this work will be formulation of artworks' identity problems, especially in relation to the Anglo-American aesthetics. One of the most important sources for this work will be a monograph by Tomáš Kulka: Umění a falzum (2004) and his conception of dualism in aesthetic theory. In addition to Kulka's approach, I will mention authors such as Nelson Goodman, Denis Dutton, Mark Sagoff and Arthur Koestler. The aim of this work is to evaluate a functionality of presented approaches to the given issue.
