Identifying Real Art
Not all of the art that Redd sells is genuine. He often tries to sell forgeries, which are worthless copies of real art. You can tell if a piece of art is real or fake by looking closely at its details.
Here are some tips for identifying real art:
- Look for inconsistencies: Forgeries often have inconsistencies in their details, such as mismatched colors or brushstrokes.
- Check the signature: Real art will usually have a signature that matches the artist's known signature.
- Compare to real images: You can find images of real art online to compare to Redd's offerings.
The Value of Art
The value of art in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is determined by its rarity and authenticity. Real art is generally more valuable than forgeries, and famous pieces are more valuable than generic ones.
You can sell your art to the Nook's Cranny shop or trade it with other players.
