Motivations for faking throughout history ·
Faking flourished whenever art collection flourished
Examples: Romans were interesteed in collecting Greek art, so faking Greek art was common. Not much faking in medieval Europe, because art was more for religious purposes (not collection). Renaissance involved faking to make art appear older and to make art seem like it was made by a famous artist.

Concept of authenticity ·
Tied to function of object among some people; might not exist in some cultures
Example: Collectors think Bambara masks are authentic if their form matches their ceremonial purpose. Not clear whether Bambaran artists would agree.

The author implies which one ██ ███ █████████ █████ ███ ████████ ██████ ██ ██████
a
Because of the █████████████ ██ ███ ███████████ █ ████ ██████ ██ ████ ██ ████ ████ ████████ ██████
Anti-supported, because the author states that the merit of an artwork is a separate issue from whether it is fake. So we have no reason to think the author believes fakes cannot have artistic merit.
b
A fake can ██ ████ ██ ████ ████████ █████ ████ ██ ███ █████████ █████████ ██ ███████████
Not supported, because the author never conditions artistic merit of a fake on successful deception. The author never says anything suggesting what is required for a fake to have artistic merit.
c
A fake may ██ ███ ███ ████ ████████ █████ ██ ███ ███ ██████ ██████████ ██ ███ █████████████ ██ ███ ███████████
d
Whether a fake ███ ████████ █████ ███████ ██ ███████ ███ ███████ ██ ████████████ ██ ██ ███████
Not supported, because the author never says anything suggesting what is required for a fake to have artistic merit.
e
The artistic merit ██ █ ████ ███████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ███ ████████ ████ ████ ████████ ███ █████
