There was a shock when Dr Paul Cradock of the British Museum declared that there was many works of art stolen from the galleries around St James's. He said that many of them are fake stuff. Charles Ede quickly responded that his stuffs are real. Many people think that making a fake is not difficult, but Dr Craddock, a metallurgist at the BM, says that it is never simple. Peggy Abensur, of the New York County District Attorney's Office, says that her office will know if there is any crime in New York. Today, the new law gives responsibility on buyers and dealers. Although, the law and technology can stop crime efficiently, it is still important to watch by human eyes….
It is a great shock that much stuff in a gallery is all fake stuff. The owner of the gallery will pass out if he hears this. Art is always afraid forging, but people keep making fake things because it has a good price. If someone could copy Mona Lisa smile, then the real one will not be so precious. Law bans making forging to keep the price of the original high. However, in many places you can still find fake things, although the quality will never be too good.
