the biggest fake of them all

Inside Shanghai's gallery district on Moganshan Road is a doorway that leads into another world. You walk into a narrow hallway and see some random paintings on the wall, then you enter the larger space and it is like whoa--a complete one-to-one scale copy of a famous Taoist wall painting (not a mural technically since it is on cloth) done by one artist over a period of ten years. It is technically very accomplished and absolutely amazing to see in person. I am currently working on a contemporary art show for a venue here in Beijing about fakes and copies so this really blew me over. In Lorenz's words: "the biggest fake of them all".
