Fakers Old and New by Maurice Chideckel is a book that explores the world of art forgery. The author delves into the history of art forgery, from the earliest known cases to modern-day examples, and examines the motivations and techniques of the forgers. The book features numerous examples of famous art forgeries, including the work of notorious forgers such as Han van Meegeren and Eric Hebborn. Chideckel also discusses the ways in which technology has impacted the art world, both in terms of detecting forgeries and creating new ones.
