Art authentication refers to the process of verifying the provenance, authorship, and authenticity of a work of art. This involves investigating various aspects of the artwork, such as the artist’s style, historical context, materials used, and documentation history. Art authentication can include scientific analysis techniques, such as carbon dating, infrared reflectography, and pigment analysis, as well as stylistic comparison and expert evaluations. The goal is to establish whether a piece is genuine or a forgery, which is crucial for collectors, galleries, and museums in preserving the integrity of the art market and ensuring the value of artworks.
