Coffee is art. This is the art you create. But also with coffee, is an art that you can phony? It turns out that you can. Well, maybe not you, but a network of counterfeiters who came up with a way to utilize coffee and tea to pretend to be works of art of notable artists, such as Picasso, Edvard Munch and Paul Klee.
And before we go further, you already know where it happened. I don’t have to speak, but still for God’s love. Of course it was in Italy. I mean that you combine the two greatest traditions in the country, coffee and art, and what did you expect?
As reported AirmailRoman counterferers focused on a specific type of art, which to duplicate, one that was previously considered impossible. Back at the end of 19th Century, a French art dealer named Ambroise Vollard, ran a publishing company and was “the only place to buy printouts for teenage artists such as Pablo Picasso.” Vollard and Vollard used only a very characteristic type of paper, both in terms of weight and texture. And it was this uniqueness that believed that it was impossible to copy.
Except that the fortresses have been figured out. Using the paper similar to Vollard, the counterfeiters “age” paper, immersing it in coffee. With the law of paper, they chose an easily repeated image for production, mainly drawings of the line, which created many copies using a lithography similar to printing.
The buildings were so successful that they were able to deceive auction houses and were separated to 23 different countries. In fact, the Pan-European Investigative Team 12 months took tracking counterfeiters to their workshop in the Roman quarter of Tuscolano, where they took over over 100 forgery-legal dollars $ 1.16 million-and froze another $ 350,000 on bank accounts.
Now I won’t tell you to do crimes and that theft is chilly. I’m just not. Buuuuuuut … Maybe I’m with the falsehoods of this? It’s coffee, art, holds it to luxurious people, everything sounds a bit chilly. But of course don’t do it because it is illegal. No matter how chilly it is.
