Historical revisionism and its economic and its economic impact on forgeries. impact on forgeries. An initial proposalAn initial propo

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.
