TRUE OR FALSE?
ART COUNTERFEITING: A CENTRAL PROBLEM
It's possible to send an enquiry to the speakers using the form-to-mail module available here below.
Art counterfeiting is a widespread international activity and represents a central problem for cultural heritage in our country. Sadly there are many known cases where artworks considered as authentic pieces and exhibited in the most important museums, were later identified as imitationsm thanks to advances in sophisticated scientific analysis.
A large percentage of counterfeit artworks circulating in the market is very high. According to the Comando Carabinieri Tutela Patrimonio Culturale (an Italian Carabinieri squad dedicated to defend cultural heritage) in Italy, from 1970 to 2006 approximately 250.000 imitation artworks have been recovered. This creates a negative impact on the the art world and the economy. To discuss this very important theme, AXA Art invited authoritative art counterfeit experts to benefit from their expertise, and to have access to relevant information, methods of analysis and useful solutions to address and impede this phenomenon.”
