With the addition of Redd and the art section of the museum to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there’s a whole new category of items to collect. However, it’s not as easy as buying new paintings and sculptures and running them over to Blathers. Unfortunately, Redd isn’t a very discerning merchant, so you’ll have to be on the lookout for signs to tell if art is fake in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Unfortunately, if you’re not familiar with the original works, it’s not easy to tell if art is fake in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The differences between the counterfeit paintings and sculptures can be very subtle. Luckily, we’ve put together a list of the art in New Horizons with both the in-game and real names. We’ve also listed how you can spot the fakes that we’ve found so far.
How do I tell if art is fake in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
As stated above, the art fakes in New Horizons are subtle. Unfortunately, Redd doesn’t give you the real name of artwork when you’re viewing it in his boat, which can make it very difficult if you’re not familiar with historical paintings and sculptures. The truth is, there’s no easy way to tell a piece of art in New Horizons is fake or not.
Your best bet, if you aren’t intimately familiar with the piece of art you’re viewing, is to identify it from our list below or a Google search. From there, you can view the painting or sculpture and compare it to what you’re seeing. Be thorough in your examination, though. Again, the differences between the fake in the game and the real art can be as subtle as a small variation in color.
Also, be aware that not every piece of art has a fake counterpart. We haven’t 100% confirmed this, but we haven’t spotted fakes for some art over multiple saves.
