The Vanishing Coin (forgery), 2023-2025
oil on linen, black velvet and pins
30.5 x 40.5 cm

Following recent conceptual interests that culminated in the “Sleight of Hand” project, this work is investigating relations between authenticity and forgery, value and circulation. The painting is a commissioned forgery of one of Sartuzi’s works.  After a set of instructions, the professional counterfeiter created a replica of the painting.
