You can buy reproductions of his "Untitled 1956" from a plethora of online companies, including this one, which includes a "Certificate of Authenticity" ("provides an assurance and verifies the authenticity of the hand painted fine art reproduction you purchased"). It's expensive, but, hey, this isn't just any art; it's a reproduced Rothko!
Except no, it isn't. Rothko Untitled 1956 wasn't painted by Rothko, it was a forgery.
The following photo is of the original fake, not the fake fake. So it's only a reproduction of a fake, rather than a reproduction of a reproduction of a fake. Much more authentic!
