<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 12479359, member: 33&quot;]Thanks for the interesting article link about the Met&#039;s cat sculpture. The article makes it clear that in all probability that one was fake, yet they were hesitant to declare it so unequivocally. Then they followed up quickly with a statement that the replica that was sold for $975 (!) in the museum shop was copied from a different sculpture in their collection, known to be authentic:</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/01/arts/met-asserts-cat-copies-based-on-authentic-work.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/01/arts/met-asserts-cat-copies-based-on-authentic-work.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/01/arts/met-asserts-cat-copies-based-on-authentic-work.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t find the expensive cat in their online shop, but there is a small one for $45.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
