<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MikeMerak, post: 1241649, member: 12917&quot;]This is a tough question. There are many so called &quot;authentication&quot; services out there but many if not most just look at taking money from the punter (english slang word for one that gambles). These services lead the customers on with things like looks good but now we need more money for research, after which comes looks good but I need more money because I have a lead in Moscow who has as a photo of the work on the artists easel or we need more money for forensic analysis etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s say that they confirm what you have is an authentic work by a particular artist, well Sotheby&#039;s and Christies will still not sell your work because it has to be in the catalogue raisonne. It is not easy and can be very expensive but there are good authentication services like Art Analysis &amp; Research.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way I can tell you some real good stories about some of these so called authenticators![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
