Detection of forgeries
If doubts arise concerning the authenticity of a recently acquired work in his ownership, a collector must act rapidly and present objective evidence in order to cancel the sale. If there is no documentary evidence and in cases where the opinion of an art historian may be considered subjective, scientific analysis may provide tangible evidence against the authenticity of a work of art (anachronisms or incoherencies, incompatibilities with known practices of an artist etc.).
This way, FAEI has been appointed as experts in several high profile judicial cases, and our reports have contributed decisively to the conclusion of several among the most important art forgery cases in recent years.
