Made in China (2015)

Dulwich Picture Gallery, London

In 2015,  I collaborated with the Dulwich Picture Gallery, one of the world's most prestigious Old Masters museums, on an unusual intervention in the collection. I commissioned an inexpensive replica of one of the Gallery's masterpieces from a workshop in China, which was switched with the original - placed in its usual frame, in its usual spot on the Gallery wall.

For three months, visitors were challenged to identify which one is the replica. 

Viewer beware...
