Before you begin any full scale American art authentication project:

 Art authentication of any sort is not about guesswork and certainly not about wishful opinion. It is a world where there is little room for conjecture and is all about reality brought about by expert academic study and solid forensic evidence.

 Most normal human beings are naturally guided here to us for help and authenticity advise into the authenticity of American art by a dream. A dream that what art they have may just be something special after all. They are beguiled by that magical possibility, a possibility that what they believe to be true, what they have been told is true or what they want to believe is true, is actually true!

But do remember, with American art authentication, that dream has to be absolutely proven, just like any case placed before a court of law.

In a court, the case must be proven and adjudged convincingly, without a shadow of doubt and proven in many different ways; academically, forensically and in reality. All of this has to be achievable before the work can be pronounced absolutely authentic by anyone, otherwise that opinion is just opinion alone and unacceptable internationally.

 So before you get into the art authentication procedures minefield which can evolve with any art authentication investigation, a field which may be both financially and emotionally taxing, it is more than wise to be realistic about the issue and have an independent 'preliminary assessment' conducted first.

 A pre authentication assessment, is a professional assessment which is based upon reality. It balances the viability of your work of art and its background and assesses the possibility based on our past experiences, that the case may be realistically followed through and eventually possibly be proven.   The advice you get will be invaluable and based upon the simple question; Is there any reality in the possibility that the work of art could be right, can we diminish the risks and do we have any serious chance achieving our objective?

If a project is literally not achievable and not provable, surely it would be sensible to know that from the start and not pursue it!

 Such an assessment then allows the client to make a wiser, considered decision and apply a greater degree of sensibility in taking the leap into a staged, full blown art authentication investigation.

It makes a great deal of sense.
