Unless of course you’re that well known art historian Fiona Bruce who the BBC can mysteriously find the money for. #fakeorfortune
Dear #readers, I have wonderful art history novel to recommend 🥰📚 I received a copy of it from my youngest son for Christmas 🎁 and the book cover is such a treat!
If you’re a fan of #Baumgartner or #FakeorFortune you will love this story.

I've decided #FakeOrFortune is just about the perfect TV programme.
Just watched a jaw-droppingly edifying #FakeOrFortune on #Canada Impressionist #HelenMcNicoll.
Pure, PURE, primo #bbc.
Oh my god, actual gasps at #FakeOrFortune where a buyer offered £300k for a painting only to be turned down by the seller, who sent it to auction where it went for £150k
A fascinating contribution to black history in the UK. An episode of _Fake or Fortune_ investigating two 19th century portraits of black women. One of the portraits was by a female artist, so also contributes to the awareness of women artists and the involvement of women in the Abolition […]
I confess I must be a big softy. The #FakeorFortune programme tonight really moved me. Two outstanding artists, one a woman, painted brilliant portraits of black women at the time the anti-slavery movement was gaining traction in the UK. Extremely beautiful art, and a powerful commentary.
Oops. Hearing that Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home has now been dropped from BBC1 schedules. It's been replaced by #FakeOrFortune
The only thing I can do to stay calm is to watch #FakeOrFortune. When frantic & nothing I can practically do, theatre or fine art keeps me sane! And able to keep on Caring!
I'm calling "fake" on this one. Why do Americans have so many flags all around their houses?

Philip Mould: On tonight’s episode of #fakeorfortune we investigate a painting bought at auction for $200 in [US] that might be a celebrated lost work by Angelica Kauffman,one of the most successful female artists of the 18th century. Covered with later overpaint, can we divine what lies beneath?

Art evolved in some ways through artists borrowing ideas from predecessors generally without remuneration to the originator. But, if AI is simply reproducing 'in the style of' then isn't it just cutting out the original artist and basically passing off forgery as a new original?

They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.
Authenticating a painting bought by someone who spends hours searching for unauthenticated paintings for profit.
Not what I'm paying my licence fee for!

I enjoy watching #FakeOrFortune but I suspect that some fakery goes into the making of the programme. How many researchers are working off camera? #BBC
I'm watching #fakeorfortune, drinking a white Rioja and snacking on a nice cheddar with slices of ice-cold golden delicious apple. I'm pretty happy.
We had a reference to "Catalogue Raisonné' when cross-checking the LeFèvre exhibition?

#FakeorFortune is genuinely one of the best TV programmes in history. It’s just marvellous.
oh what a great result! #FakeOrFortune

The photos of Frances Hodgkins make me think she was lots of fun. #FakeOrFortune
It looks almost like a #Battlefield painting?

I'm waiting for them to discover Fiona is a fake #FakeOrFortune
If that wouldbe #Renoir portrait on #FakeOrFortune was faked, surely the 'Ecole des Beaux-Arts' label would have (a) been from the 1860s/70s and, (b) been less evidently hidden? I know the prov trail isn't great but surely there's a rationale for that?
