1. Jolly Redd’s Art Gallery: An Introduction
Jolly Redd, the sly fox, occasionally docks his boat, filled with furniture and art, at the northern beach of your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Four art pieces (along with two furniture items) are available. He sells both genuine artworks that can be donated to the museum and forgeries that cannot. It’s crucial to choose wisely because you can only purchase one art piece per visit. You might find all four are fakes, or you might get lucky and find multiple real pieces. There are 43 art pieces to collect in total.
After your purchase, the artwork is mailed to you and arrives the next day.
2. How to Unlock Redd’s Art Gallery
To unlock Redd’s visits, you need to speak with Blathers at the museum. He will express interest in accepting art donations after you’ve donated at least 60 items (fish, bugs, or fossils). The next day, Isabelle will mention shady art dealers in her announcements. Then, Redd will start appearing on your island.
Upon your first encounter, Redd will offer you a painting for an exorbitant price. If you decline, he’ll give you a “discount,” and the initial piece of art he sells you will always be genuine.
Donate this first artwork to Blathers, and he’ll start talking about opening an art exhibit. The museum will be closed for renovations the next day and reopen with an art exhibit a day later. After that, Redd will randomly appear on your island with his boat.
Redd’s boat docks at the secret beach on the north side of your island. You’ll likely need a ladder to reach it. His visits are random, similar to other traveling merchants like Kicks and Flick.
You can also invite Redd as a merchant to Harv’s Island Plaza for 100,000 Bells. At Harv’s Island, Redd will have two art pieces available daily, which can be either real or fake. You can only buy one piece a day. After purchasing one, the slot is replaced with another random piece the next day. If you don’t buy anything, the stock refreshes every Monday.
3. What to Do With Real and Fake Art
Genuine artworks can be donated to the Museum, displayed in your home, or placed as statues anywhere on the island.
Fake art cannot be donated to the museum. Timmy and Tommy at Nook’s Cranny won’t buy them either. You can dispose of it using a Trash Can or display it to fool your friends.
4. Identifying Real Art From Fake Art: A Comprehensive Guide
All of Redd’s artworks are based on real-world paintings and sculptures. However, identifying real art from fake art is essential because Redd may try to sell you a forgery that looks very similar to the genuine article. Each fake has a visible difference from the real version.
Redd has significantly enhanced his forgery game this time around, making it challenging to differentiate his art from the real versions. Note that the differences between real and fake art are not the same as in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It can be very difficult to spot the differences.
In the following sections, we’ll provide detailed descriptions of how to tell the difference between a real piece of art and a forgery. We will update this guide as more information is available.
Remember to inspect the paintings carefully and compare them to the real paintings before you make any purchases.
