Arts Authentication

Art authentication is the meticulous process of verifying the authenticity, provenance, and value of artwork through expert analysis, scientific testing, and historical research. This involves evaluating an artwork’s materials, techniques, and stylistic elements, alongside forensic methods such as carbon dating, pigment analysis, and ultraviolet light examination. Authentication also includes provenance verification—tracing the ownership history and documentation of a piece to confirm its legitimacy. Whether for collectors, museums, or galleries, art authentication plays a crucial role in protecting investments, preventing forgeries, and preserving artistic heritage in the global art market.
