L’Atelier du faux
Faux livres, fausses reliures, fausses identités

12.10.2024 – 02.02.2025

L’Atelier du Faux immerses you in a fascinating world where disapproval meets admiration.
Since the Renaissance, forgers have fueled collectors’ desires with remarkably skilled creations. Even today, as in the art market, the trade in luxury goods and consumer products must contend with the sophisticated expertise of counterfeiters. With the rise of new technologies, copying systems have multiplied, and anonymity has unleashed new forms of abuse. Fake news and misinformation now tumble down a slippery slope with disconcerting ease.

Through this new exhibition, Wittockiana invites you to explore the paradoxes of deception and ingenuity throughout the centuries. This exhibition blends lightheartedness with depth, reflecting our own quest for authenticity in a world of illusions.
