Who decides that a piece of art is authentic ? 🤝 A question that any art lover will have asked at least once in life. First, we must remember that an artwork, to be considered as such, needs to be recognized as authentic through a document, a certificate. Who issues this document? We have three options. 🧾 1. The still living artist or the gallery representing him/her, who expresses his moral values on the work of art and has the power not to recognize the authenticity of some of them circulating on the market. 2. Relatives, partners, heirs, distant relatives of the artist himself/herself if he/she is no longer alive; 3. Art experts and art historians who constitute the Archives and Foundations commissions. The former, concentrate their energies in the updating and organizing the documents and the production of an artist through databases and publications, the latter can be defined as stable organizations dedicated to the care and management of a heritage destined, with non-economic purposes, to the community. Which rules should be followed in order to draw up the certificate? 📢 This is where the problems arise. Rules, methods and practices depend on individuals, commissions and institutions, and therefore the "opinions" on the authenticity of a work of art turn out to be extremely subjective and contestable. Hence the increasingly widespread practice of living artists to create an archive, and therefore a numbering, of the pieces produced along their careers so as to make any future dispute difficult. #ArtAdvisory #Advisors #Curators #Certificate #Authenticity #Artworks #Experts #Archive #Foundation #Heirs #Artist #news #gallery #Arthistorian #Art #Issues #professionals https://lnkd.in/edAc-MNY

A work of art; and yet no art of man, Can work, this work, these little creatures can. - Geffrey Whitney #insectphotography #poetryinmotion #naturephotography #bumblebee #fuquerifotography

Another example of someone using different artistic elements to bring back to life an existing artform or object but with a diferent frame of interpretation. Basically what I am trying to do with Ainoarts. https://lnkd.in/ethHGE5m #ainoarts #artisticexpression

It is about light, shadows, darkness, seamless transitions, mystifications. Ceson subjects his photographs to a dazzling and mesmerising lighting show. He uses his own digital chiaroscuro editing, a technique that combines bold light with intense darkness to emphasise the depth of his subjects. As with Rembrandt, it is in the shadows that the mystery and obscurity arouse the viewer's curiosity and imagination. The dynamic between visible and hidden. One of the most fundamental narratives in Ceson's art is about the 'human condition'. By not just depicting a forest glade, a cathedral, an invasive plant, for example, he pushes the material as far as possible to trigger something existential in us as viewers. #art #artexhibition #konstutställning

Art’s value often lies not in its creation but in its perception. A canvas splashed with paint might be dismissed as trivial by one person but revered as a masterpiece by another. The irony is that the worth of art isn’t solely determined by skill, time, or effort, it’s shaped by narratives, context, and societal validation. A piece priced at a few dollars in a flea market can skyrocket to millions when it’s exhibited in a prestigious gallery. The same artist who struggles to sell today may have their work celebrated posthumously. This asks the question: is the value intrinsic to the art, or is it a reflection of what we’re told to see?

Provenance is the documented history of ownership for a piece of art, and it plays a crucial role in the art market. Why is it so important? For one, it ensures the artwork's authenticity and protects against legal disputes. Additionally, a strong provenance can significantly enhance the value of a piece, especially if it has been owned by prestigious collectors or displayed in renowned exhibitions. As a collector, it's essential to seek detailed provenance before acquiring any artwork. An experienced art advisor can verify an artwork's provenance and help you navigate potential pitfalls, ensuring your investment is secure. Understanding provenance is key to making informed and valuable art investments. #ArtProvenance #ArtCollecting #ArtInvestment #ArtAdvisor #Authenticity
