    Friend or Faux: Imitation and Invention from Innocent to Fraudulent will explore the attractions and pitfalls of authenticity, in a major exhibition at the Rosenbach Museum & Library. On view from November 11, 2009 – July 11, 2010, the exhibition will engage visitors in the stories behind a wide range of fakes, copies, imitations, and forgeries, bringing together over forty paintings, manuscripts, books, and decorative arts objects from the museum’s collection. Who created them? Why were they acquired? The exhibition will address these questions and more, demonstrating that both friend and faux can be useful tools for understanding the past.
