AI Supported Art Authentication

In the art market, many paintings undergo authentication due to the significant value placed on verified works. While new scientific methods and advanced technologies have improved the validation process, the market remains saturated with forgeries and errors. This combination makes it both highly risky and, at the same time, potentially very lucrative.

Whoever can confirm originality, is in a very strong position. There is a big number of owners hoping to confirm authenticity of their art works, while only a few of those works are actually originals. The advantage of being considered an original makes a big financial difference: A simple “copy” of an old master painting might be worth 10.000,-, a painting “attributed” to an old master maybe 1 million, but the original might be worth in the range of 100 million.

We are frequently approached by art owners seeking authentication for their pieces, often artworks that have been in families for generations or are newly discovered finds. However, experience has shown that only a small fraction of these are genuine. To efficiently identify potential originals, we begin with a preliminary AI-based validation, providing a high-probability assessment of authenticity. Once a formal agreement is in place, we generate detailed reports, including an advanced AI analysis.

While the AI report offers valuable insights, it alone is insufficient to persuade art experts and the broader community. Comprehensive authentication requires supporting evidence such as chemical and physical analyses, along with meticulously documented provenance detailing the artwork’s history. AI serves as an initial gateway, but traditional validation methods, complemented by extensive reports and expert evaluations, remain essential for establishing credibility. This gives interested parties direct access to the collected and supporting information and allows them to form their own judgement on the authenticity of the respective painting.
