Article about FAKE on Fine Art Registry

Fine Art Registry, an art registration website that publishes original articles of interest to the art world, posted a detailed piece about FAKE last week, and allowed me to weigh in on the current state of online art fraud.

The site is a pretty ambitious undertaking, and seems to have a lot of energy and money behind it. Anyone who owns a valuable painting may register it with the site, which will then track the piece's ownership over time and issue an alert if it is ever stolen or lost. If enough people use this service, art theft and fraud will become much more difficult.
