Investigating the Authenticity of Paintings and Drawings believed to be by or Attributed to;

William James Glackens

1870-1938

American

 Clearly there is no necessity for a full biography of Glackens life here as it has been well documented by other commentators, excepting to repeat that  William James Glackens was an American realist painter and one of the founders of the Ashcan School of American art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

  Inevitably, he is imitated, with any attempted imitation clearly an attempt at deception. Undoubtedly this is due to the vastly increasing values of his works of art in recent years and the quantity he produced in his lifetime. So today, all manner of paintings claiming to be his, either deliberately faked or more commonly misrepresented or misattributed, be that mistakenly or deliberately, sometimes appear on the open art market.

  Both the duration and direction of any attribution or investigation of the authenticity of an art work will always vary from project to project, but there are clear and well defined professional formalities, responsibilities and areas of scrutiny that we can assist you with including:

Authentication: Authentification: Conducting and directing comprehensive investigations and in depth research, with a view to establishing a correct, complete and formally recognized certification of a work of art. One that is absolutely upheld by the appropriate, legally acknowledged and internationally sanctioned authority, body or expert on that given artist.

Directing detailed and complicated inquiries with multilingual, international academic research and any forensic applications that are required.

 Attribution:  Identifying and confirming the identity of a previously anonymous artist, studio or workshop from which a work of art most likely originated. Including the re-examination and investigation of a previous attribution which may be incorrect, or the scrutiny of an attribution that has been formally questioned or doubted.

 Confirmation:  Undertaking research and investigations into the legitimacy of the provenance, history and prior ownership of a work of art and establishing its own accuracy.

 Scrutiny: Examen minutieux: Identifying fake works of art and forgeries, including any false supportive accompanying documentation and determining works of art which may be studio or later copies, or previous incorrect attributions.

 Prosecution: Poursuite: Investigating alleged art fraud and forgery and assisting and advising those who are , or may be considering litigating or prosecuting the fact. This includes legal professionals and private clients.

 Attention:  Conducting all fine art related due diligence and duty of care inquiries. Including safe prepurchase or sale related audits and assisting clients in consolidating a well balanced future family distribution.

 Appraisal: Évaluation - Valuations, quality and condition reports.

Step one in the Art Authentication and Attribution process.

The Pre-Authentication Assessment

    Before you begin any art authenticity, legitimacy, or any artist attribution investigation, it is more than wise to have an impartial preliminary assessment of the viability of the project conducted first. Made to independently and rationally balance any negative issues there may be against the positive elements. Treat this study as your safety net.

 We will be happy to professionally undertake this for you, based upon good quality images that you supply and all the known facts regarding its acquisition, the history and provenance of the work of art as is known to you.

You will then have a far better understanding of the prospects and pitfalls that could lie ahead.

ABOUT PAINTING DESCRIPTORS AND TERMINOLOGY

The American Artist William J. Glackens

  It is important to understand the auction terms used in any published descriptor and to be cautious of works that may just be painted in the style or manner of the artist, or even the stylized - would be copies of his works which happen to bear a signature or monogram. In this case the paintings and drawings of William J. Glackens.

 Where the name, William J. Glackens is given with the first name/s and surname of the artist, usually as William J. Glackens then in their professional opinion they are in no doubt, it is the genuine and authentic item, one painted by the artist himself, William J. Glackens .

 When Attributed to William J. Glackens , or William J. Glackens is similarly written or used, then in their opinion it is 'probably' a work by the artist, at least in part. But... there is no guarantee. It's only an opinion.

 When William J. Glackens ; “Studio of ….” or “Workshop of William J. Glackens " or atelier" is used, this means that in their opinion it is a work executed in the studio of the artist. Possibly by an apprentice or even a pupil under the principal artists supervision.

 But if the term William J. Glackens , or “Circle of William J. Glackens ” is used, then in their opinion, it is a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence, or closely associated with the artist, BUT not necessarily by his pupil or student.

 When the name William J. Glackens is given; or Painted in the “Style of William J. Glackens ” or “Follower of William J. Glackens is used, this means that in their opinion it is a work of art executed only in the artist’s 'style', but not necessarily by a pupil. But it may be contemporary, or nearly contemporary of the artist.

 If the phrase in the “Manner of William J. Glackens is used or is defined….” Then in their opinion it's a work painted in the style of the artist but of a later date and definitely not by the artist himself.

 When the term “After….William J. Glackens "; is the term, then in their opinion it is a copy (made at any date) of an authentic and original work by the artist. This also applies to prints made 'after' an original..

 William J. Glackens ; “Signed…”, “Dated….” or “Inscribed William J. Glackens ” Then in their opinion the work has been signed/dated/or inscribed by that specific artist. The addition of a question mark however, indicates a strong element of doubt.

 When the term William J. Glackens is used followed by the words; "With signature ….”, or “With date ….” or “With inscription….” or “Bears signature William J. Glackens /date/or inscription” Then in their opinion, the signature / date / or inscription is spurious, forged or has been added by someone else other than the artist.

We can assist and advise you in all fine art related matters.
