Investigating the Authenticity of Works of art believed to be by or Attributed to

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky

Иван Константинович Айвазовский

(July 17, 1817 – April 19 1900)

Russian

 

 

 Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky; Иван Константинович Айвазовский - was an extremely famous Armenian-Russian marine painter and artist specializing in seascape, landscape and portrait paintings. Aivazovsky became hugely popular in his lifetime and much like England's famed J. M. W. Turner, with a genius for capturing the effects of light. His beautiful dream like landscapes are captivating and are rare recordings of places and views bathed in dramatic sun and moon light and this was to begin a fashionably new and fresh style and an interest in art, which in turn fired an incredible artistic trend in its own right.

 He was originally not as much faked as an artist but emulated. More as artistic applause and recognition but latterly for obvious commercial reasons.

 A huge number of seascapes were painted in the 'style of Aivazovsky' throughout the 19th century though, many of which have been sold, passed off in contemporary markets as the master's own originals, misattributed, deliberately or mistakenly so.

Only latterly have the art world's fakers jumped on the Aivazovsky band wagon and started to produce 'new' long lost paintings. With many more works that were similar in style, age and subject, but painted by unknown hands, magically developing brand new signatures overnight.

.

 Notably Aivazovsky was the first painter in a Russian art auction sale to break the £1 million barrier. Now few make less and there is the problem.

 In recent years, an ever growing number of works of art including paintings bearing the name Aivazovsky have been consigned for sale in auctions around the world and as the values of his works of art consistently climb, there is an greater need for the confirmation of legitimacy.

Works of art that do surface will require both a comprehensive and thorough investigation of their backgrounds and provenance and similar scrutiny made to confirm that any previously given attribution is correct. So too that any description itself of a work of art seemingly by Aivazovsky can truly be relied upon.

 

 We are international fine art consultants and investigators with bases in the UK and Europe, specialising in conducting full investigations into the authenticity of works of art created by artists in all categories, from all regions and historical eras. We scrutinize and track provenance and have been confidentially serving and advising both private individuals and corporate clients from around the world for over 45 years.

 We can assist and advise you in all fine art related matters, particularly issues of authenticity and the attribution of any old or modern master works of art, including the works of Ivan Aivazovsky, his circle, studio, or followers, or any works of art that you are unsure about.

 Some example works of art appear below as illustrations. Note: No inference is made nor is it intended as to the question of their legitimacy. Moreover they are an across the board representational view of the differing types of works that are and may be offered and advertised for sale at auction internationally.

Fine Art Authentication

 

 

 The duration and the direction of any authenticity investigation or an attribution of a work of art will inevitably vary from project to project. But there are clear and very well defined professional formalities, responsibilities and areas of scrutiny that we can formally assist you with, including:

 

  • Authentication: Authentification:   Conducting comprehensive investigations and in depth research into a work of art with a view to establishing a correct, complete and formally recognized certification. One 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 capability, including any international academic research and 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 is currently doubted.

 

 

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

 

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

 

  •  Prosecution: Poursuite: Investigating alleged art fraud and forgery and assisting and advising those who are currently , or may be considering litigating or prosecuting the fact. This includes colleagues who are legal professionals and individual 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 and condition reports.

 

 

 

 

 

Step one in the Art Authentication and Attribution process.

The Pre-Authentication Assessment

 

    Before you begin any authenticity, legitimacy, or artist attribution investigation, it is wise to have an impartial preliminary assessment of the viability of the project conducted first. One made to independently and rationally balance any negative issues there may be against the positive. You should treat this study as a 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 indeed the possible pitfalls that could lie ahead.
