Attribution & authenticity

Attribution and authenticity are crucial in determining an artwork's value. Attribution involves identifying the artist responsible for creating the work of art. This process ideally combines material analysis with expert connoisseurship, utilizing all available information. For an attributed artwork to gain widespread acceptance as genuine, its authenticity must be established through compelling evidence and factual support. ArtEval©  assists you with both the attribution and authentication processes.

Attribution is a key concept in art history and essential for establishing value. It sheds light on critical aspects such as:

• Who created this work?
• Is it by the master or a student?
• Is it an original or a later copy?

Whether one is looking to find the identity of the artist responsible for a newly discovered work or challenging the authenticity of something suspect, attribution plays a critical role by answering the underlying fundamental questions
