What Is Re Lining?
There was something called re lining. It seems like this changed the forgery game yet again, in part because you could use all new materials and then smuggle these larger paintings into britain. Can you explain what re line actually is? Sure, ye. It's a very important procedure that all experts and collectors are familiar with. I liken it in my book as like the re soling of a shoe. And 99 % of all paintings that you see in a museum or in a high end gallery have been re lined. But who would ever think anybody could duplicate a screw presser lining?
