FINE ART & PAINTING AUTHENTICATION SERVICES

Art authentication verifies the authorship, origin, and legitimacy of an artwork. Establishing definitive artist attribution is required to unlock market value, secure fine art insurance, and clear works for international auction or private sale.

Since 2002, our international firm has applied advanced forensic, historical, and scientific methodologies across thousands of cases to issue definitive expert conclusions and Certificates of Authenticity (COA).

WHY MUST A PAINTING BE AUTHENTICATED?

Formal verification protects collectors, estates, and institutions against financial and legal vulnerabilities in the art market:

• Market Liquidity: Premier galleries and auction houses will not accept or market high-value artworks without verified attribution.
• Asset Protection: Fine art underwriters require structural proof of authenticity to issue insurance policies or settle damage and theft claims.
• Legal Compliance: Tax authorities require certified authentication dossiers for estate distribution, asset division, or charitable tax deductions.

METHODS USED TO AUTHENTICATE PAINTINGS

We combine traditional historical research with advanced laboratory testing to establish attribution beyond a reasonable doubt. To learn more about the specific forensic testing, scientific analysis, and archival tools we use, visit our Authentication Methods page.
