"1. What about forgeries – can they be identified under “the is of artistic identification?"
I think when I asked myself this question I was really asking if forgeries could be considered art in Danto's point of view. Forgeries are simply copies. After a bit of thought, if forgeries are copies, then what about things that are reprinted? Poems and stories are printed countless times and they are simply copies of the original piece. Paintings are printed and they too are hung up and appreciated the same way. I think forgeries can be identified as art in some aspects, even without truly being art.
