About Art Authorities
Attribution is where the money and the scholarship meet. Art Authorities covers the fields of connoisseurship, authentication, provenance research, and art law: the processes by which contested works are examined, questioned, upheld, or revised. When a major attribution is challenged, when a foundation issues a catalogue raisonné entry, when a restitution case advances through the courts, when a forgery investigation concludes, Art Authorities reports the details for an audience that needs them: auction specialists, legal counsel, scholars, museum curators, collectors conducting due diligence, and insurers managing fine art risk.
This publication takes the technical seriously. A reader here is comfortable with the language of connoisseurship and expects coverage that reflects it.
Our Editorial Standards
Every article in Art Authorities is sourced from a publicly distributed press release via a recognized wire service: GlobeNewswire, Send2Press, NewMediaWire, or PRWeb. We report what documented sources state. We do not adjudicate authenticity disputes independently, present any party's claim as settled unless a relevant authority has confirmed it, or characterize ongoing legal proceedings beyond what public records show. Corrections are published within 48 hours of confirmation at the foot of the corrected article with a timestamped notice.
AI Assistance Disclosure
Art Authorities produces articles with AI assistance. Each article is grounded in a publicly distributed wire-service press release. AI translates the source into our publication's register and performs an automated fact-check against the source document. The full source URL is published on every article. AI does not offer independent judgments on authenticity, attribution, or legal outcomes, and it does not introduce claims that are not in the source. Editorial decisions belong to the editorial team.
