ETHICS IN ART

You are a friend of a very famous artist who secretly admits to you that
the one of their most famous works was in fact
created by a visitor to their studio.  That by mistake it was sent out
to the gallery and later sold to a museum.
As his friend do you keep the secret, or do you expose the work as a
fraud?  Revealing what you know may result in endless lawsuits and deep
embarrassment on all sides.  Is the authenticity of a work important in
our society anymore?
