Of particular interest is a master forgery acquired by the Museum in 1957 as an authentic work of the tenth century. The painting, which was allegedly a landscape by the Five Dynasties period master Guan Tong, is one of Zhang’s most ambitious forgeries and serves to illustrate both his skill and his audacity.[6]
James Cahill, professor emeritus of Chinese art at the University of California, Berkeley, has claimed that the painting "The Riverbank," a masterpiece from the Southern Tang Dynasty attributed to the 10th century painter Dong Yuan, held by the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, is likely another Chang Dai-chien forgery.[7]
Museum curators are cautioned to examine all questionable Chinese paintings of all genres with the query, "Could this be by Chang Dai-chien?"[6] Joseph Chang, curator of Chinese art at the Sackler Museum, posited that practically every notable collection of Chinese art contains a forgery by the master painter.[7]
