In the past authenticity process of an art work was dependent on experts, who judged through brush strokes, texture, composition and colour, these people put their huge pack of knowledge into action to acknowledge the truth and to support it, but like judgment in a sport competition, misjudgments are part of the play.

“In all cases of suspected forgery, provenance research should be the first form of fake detection employed. Provenance is an art world term for an artwork’s ownership history: the record of who owned it and when. In a perfect world, we would have detailed information about who bought and sold the artwork going all the way back to the moment the original artist took it off their easel. In the real world, we are often not so lucky. Records are lost or were never kept, deals are sealed with a handshake, and, as we will discuss further in Week 3, art can be seized illegally by organisations and states who then seek to obscure the origins of the works.”

But what could be the soloution?

“the balance of power in the forgery detection game is about to shift. the art world has been closely monitoring scientific breakthroughs in fields as diverse as A.I., bitcoin, and protein analysis, and the technologies born from this research have either been appropriated by authenticators or will be soon. With these extra layers of security added to the vetting process, the current generation of copycat artists will find it increasingly difficult to hoodwink museum directors and collectors.” In Avam restoration and conservation and authenticity atelier inspectoral imaging and laboratory examinations are used in authenticity process as well as using Block chain and registering a Hash code for art works. The documents are archived in our database and a paper report is printed and sealed for art owner.
