Abstract
This is a paper about the relationship between art and value. I investigate the meanings of value and authenticity in the art world through an anthropological lens, using a case study of art forgery to show how a work of art can transition from priceless to worthless. I have used scholarly analysis of art historical and anthropological theory, contemporary primary sources, and ethnographic interviews in my studies of art, value, and authenticity.
