Authentication in Art (journal)

Authentication in art is the process of verifying whether a piece is genuine and created by the artist it claims to be from. Experts examine various factors such as provenance (history of ownership), stylistic details, materials used, and scientific tests to establish its authenticity. This process helps prevent forgeries and safeguards the artwork's value and historical significance. Accurate authentication is essential for collectors, museums, and institutions to ensure trust and integrity in the art market.
