The ever growing phenomenon of counterfeit artwork, and the principal function of intellectual property
Centre d’artistes Voix Visuelle is proud to present, with generous support from the National Gallery of Canada, Un mensonge encadré: le phénomène du faux en peinture,
a talk by criminologist Philippe Bensimon, and L’art de spolier l’artiste!, a talk by
Me Isabelle Regout. The presentations will be held on February 16, 2012 starting at 4:30 p.m. in the Lecture Hall of the National Gallery.
Participants will learn, thanks to illustrations, about the ever growing phenomenon of counterfeit artwork, and the principal function of intellectual property in this new era of digital technology.
