DNA Testing
Can DNA testing prove a painting's authenticity?
Yes – through the meticulous process
executed by Art Experts.
Our process involves a careful 7-step procedure:
- Locate biological material (typically a hair) from the artist within the artwork
- Extract the sample carefully to minimize damage.
- Test the viability of the DNA extraction
- Compare the sample with verified artist DNA.
- Contextualize the work historically.
- Document the scientific process.
- Present the findings with a verifiable chain of custody.
Key Considerations:
- This process requires intact genetic material from the artist
- Full documentation ensures credibility
- It is most effective when combined with other authentication methods utilized by Art Experts.
We handle the entire process – from extraction to final certification.
