Where it came from
Gallery Fake the Best is a retrospective collection featuring selected chapters from the long-running manga series Gallery Fake, written and illustrated by Hosono Fujihiko. The original series, which began serialization in 1992, centers on Fujita Reiji, a cynical yet brilliant former curator who operates an illicit gallery specializing in high-quality art forgeries. Hosono crafted the series to explore the intersection of aesthetic value, art history, and the moral ambiguity of the global art market, providing readers with deep dives into famous masterpieces and the secretive world of auction houses.
The 'Best' compilation format was designed to distill the expansive narrative into thematic volumes for both long-term fans and newcomers. Hosono's artistic approach emphasizes intricate line work and meticulous research, ensuring that the visual representations of real-world paintings are rendered with academic precision. Upon its release, the series earned significant critical acclaim, including the Shogakukan Manga Award, and is widely regarded as one of the definitive works exploring the intersection of fine art and crime fiction in the Japanese manga medium.
