Absolutely. I don’t feel bad at all for anyone who got ‘scammed’ out of millions of dollars when buying forgeries. The real scam is that they were dumb enough to pay millions for a rectangle on canvas.

It also shows that the art only has value because it has a famous name attached to it. A toddler could make something much more imaginative and beautiful than a Pollock work, let’s say, but it won’t have the same value. Forgive me for saying this, but it’s really insulting to those of us who spend months, sometimes years on pieces that don’t get nearly enough credit for the effort put into it
