Investigating the Authenticity of Works of art believed to be by or attributed to Joseph Fernand Henri Léger
Fernand Léger (1881–1955) French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker
Wolfgang Beltracchi is surely not the only modern day faker in the art world to have ever emulated the French artist Fernand Léger, born Joseph Fernand Henri Léger in 1881. Many went before him and no doubt, there will be many more after him and frankly, the Léger style is not that difficult to emulate. But could you tell a real Leger from a fake one? Even renown art collector Peggy Guggenheim it would seem was duped, buying years ago what she believed was a legitimate Leger painted in 1913 which scientists now, following recent Carbon dating say is is most certainly a fake.

In recent years an ever growing number of paintings bearing the name Fernand Léger have been sold at major auctions and as the values of works of art by him consistently climb ever higher, there is an ever greater need for confirmation of legitimacy. So it would follow, that any works of art that do surface from the mists of time will require both a comprehensive and thorough investigation of their backgrounds and their authenticity. Or similar scrutiny made for confirmation that any previously given attribution is correct and that any description of a work of art seemingly by Fernand Léger can truly be relied upon. With such very high values of his paintings prevailing in the art market and the demand, even for modest works, then attempts at imitation by forgery and at all different levels is an obvious but sad consequence and the simplest ploy adopted by those intending to deceive, is to add a signature or monogram to an otherwise anonymous work, apply a forged studio stamp, or press home with a new and persuasive inscription or gallery label to a picture. It need only to be one of a vaguely similar nature or style to that of the artist that is claiming to be by and there are many followers of his style and many student of the arts emulators creating product that is similar. This is the most common form of criminal deception that we see. Though there are undoubtedly other, dare I say it, 'talented' artists who deliberately forge works of art by others for gain. Unfortunately, forgery sometimes applies to faked provenance, documentation and even COA's too. * * * We are international fine art consultants and investigators based in the UK, specialising in conducting full investigations into the authenticity of works of art created by artists in all categories, from all regions and historical eras.

ABOUT A WORK OF ART DESCRIPTOR AND ITS TERMINOLOGY
*It is important to very clearly understand the auction terms that are used in any published descriptor and to be cautious of works that may just be created in the manner of the artist, or those which could be variants of the artists works of art that bear a signature or monogram. In this case as if they were defining the creations of the French artist Joseph Fernand Henri Léger (1881–1955)
