Weekend
If, as Carter Ratcliff writes in this weekend’s issue, we seek out works of art to “encounter the power, the authority, of a profoundly creative self,” we are also drawn to them for the community of values and shared vision they represent. They are our portals into a past and a future that feel as alive as the current moment.
A participatory culture is a healthy culture, which is one of the many reasons why Hyperallergic brings you a free flow of information and ideas about the arts each day. If you value our work, please consider becoming a member of Hyperallergic and help to keep our news and reviews accessible to everyone.

Every Dealer’s Nightmare: The Inevitability of Fakes
The media almost always overlook what is truly interesting about fakes: not who made them, who sold them, or who was in on the scam and who was not, but what they tell us about art and those who produce it.
