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

Christiaan Karel Appel

Karel Appel

(1921-2006)

Dutch painter, sculptor, and poet

 

 

 Karel Appel (1921-2006) was one of the founders of an avant-garde art movement called the Cobra movement - Inspirationally named after the cities Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam back in 1948. Karel Appel himself, is widely regarded as one of the most important Dutch artists since World War II and is often faked. Karel Appel and Variety:

 Massively influenced by the work of Willem DeKooning while on a trip to the USA, Karel Appel took a new step into abstractionalism, far beyond his normal approach producing this work of art in 1959. For any art authentication investigation specialists or researchers, a problem in identifying authentic works by Karel Appel is the disparity of both quality and approaches between the artists works from different periods of his life.

 Understandably, academic opinion alone is seldom enough in authenticating art. Signature verification is important too, but not in all of Appel's works as many his works have been left unsigned. Some are fully signed and more just initialled. Forensic scrutiny therefore can justifiably have a major part to play in the authentication process. But according to the Karel Appel Foundation; "The Karel Appel Foundation cannot accept artworks for physical examination." In this day and age this surely is very odd indeed.

 In recent years an ever growing number of paintings bearing the name Karel Appel 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 similar scrutiny made for confirmation that any previously given attribution is correct and that any description of a work of art seemingly by  Karel Appel can truly be relied upon.

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.
