Lee has been honoured with a Grammy Hall of Fame award & feted by the British House of Commons which declared his psychedelic masterpiece Forever Changes the greatest album of all time. The Los Angeles Times" dubbed the seminal 1967 album perhaps the most quintessentially Los Angeles record there ever is it will always retain certain immutable qualities that Loves music captures.

Loves first two albums were groundbreaking infusing folk-rock garage-punk jazz blues flamenco & classical music elements. But with their third " Forever Changes" Lee & Love achieved immortality. Though he continued to record for the better part of the next 30 years Lee was never able to top this crowning glory. Spiralling into excess & increasingly bizarre behaviour Lee ultimately bottomed out after being sentenced to 12 years in a California state prison for weapons offences.

According to Vasari the young Michelangelo often borrowed drawings of past masters which he copied returning his imitations to the owners & keeping originals. Half a millennium later Andy Warhol made a game of forging" the Mona Lisa questioning the entire concept of originality. Forged explores art forgery from ancient times to the present. In chapters combining lively biography with insightful art criticism Jonathon Keats profiles individual art forgers & connects their stories to broader themes about the role of forgeries in society. From the Renaissance master Andrea del Sarto who faked a Raphael masterpiece at the request of his Medici patrons to the Vermeer counterfeiter Han van Meegeren who duped the avaricious Hermann Goring to the frustrated British artist Eric Hebborn who began forging to expose the ignorance of experts art forgers have challenged "legitimate" art in their own time breaching accepted practices & upsetting the status quo. They have also provocatively confronted many of the present-day cultural anxieties that are major themes in the arts. Keats uncovers what forgeries-and our reactions to them-reveal about changing conceptions of creativity identity authorship integrity authenticity success & how we assign value to works of art. The book concludes by looking at how artists today have appropriated many aspects of forgery through such practices as street-art stenciling & share-&-share-alike licensing & how these open-source "copyleft" strategies have the potential to make legitimate art meaningful again. Forgery has been much discussed-and decried-as a crime. Forged is the first book to assess great forgeries as high art in their own right." ...
