About this badge

Issues of authentication are among the most problematic confronting the arts professional. This course––designed for appraisers, art dealers, art historians, and art insurance adjusters––focuses on the relationship between an artwork's condition and authenticity, techniques used to detect previous restoration and conservation treatment, methods available to distinguish forgeries and reproductions, and the importance of proper environment and care in preserving authenticity. Classes meet in a conservation laboratory where students can examine works of art undergoing conservation treatment.
