Abstract (en)
The initial hypothesis of this theoretical article is that correlations exist between historical revisionism and economic impact on art forgeries. After stating that forgeries have the intention to deceive and their existence is due to the positive values associated with them, we clarify that historical revisionism has an impact on material culture, its display, and its exchange. We state that artworks and art forgeries are examples of material culture. Nevertheless, we describe the art market as one with information problems and a lack of incentives to publicly categorize something as a forgery. Therefore, we conclude that historical revisionism can impact the production of forgeries, but its exchange and display follow an equal dynamic to its original.
Abstract (es)
Este artículo teórico plantea como hipótesis inicial la existencia de correlaciones entre el revisionismo histórico y el impacto económico sobre las falsificaciones de arte. Luego de afirmar que las falsificaciones tienen la intención de engañar y que su propia existencia se debe a los valores positivos asociados a ellas, aclaramos que el revisionismo histórico tiene un impacto en la cultura material, su exhibición e intercambio. Sostenemos que esto parte de la asunción de que el arte y las falsificaciones de arte son un ejemplo de cultura material. Sin embargo, describimos el mercado del arte como un mercado con problemas de información, el cual carece de incentivos para categorizar públicamente una obra como falsificada. Por lo tanto, concluimos que el revisionismo histórico puede tener un impacto en la producción de falsificaciones, pero su intercambio y exhibición sigue una dinámica igual a la de la obra original.
Abstract (pt)
Este artigo teórico propõe como hipótese inicial a existência de correlações entre o revisionismo histórico e o impacto econômico sobre as falsificações de arte. Depois de afirmar que as falsificações têm a intenção de enganar e que sua própria existência se deve aos valores positivos a elas associados, esclarecemos que o revisionismo histórico tem impacto na cultura material, sua exibição e troca. Argumentamos que isso se baseia na suposição de que a arte e as falsificações de arte são um exemplo de cultura material. No entanto, descrevemos o mercado de arte como um mercado desafiado pela informação, que carece de incentivos para categorizar publicamente uma obra como falsificada.
Portanto, concluímos que o revisionismo histórico pode ter um impacto na produção de falsificações, mas sua troca e exibição seguem uma dinâmica igual à da obra original.
