Art Authentication refers to the process of verifying the authenticity of a work of art, determining whether it is an original piece created by a specific artist or if it is a forgery or reproduction. This process often involves various methods, including the examination of the artwork’s materials, techniques, provenance (the history of ownership), and scientific analysis, such as carbon dating or pigment analysis. Experts, including art historians, conservators, and specialized forensic scientists, typically conduct the authentication process. The goal of art authentication is to ensure that collectors, galleries, and institutions can make informed decisions regarding the art market, investment, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
