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.
