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

Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan

Piet Mondrian

(1872 –1944)

DUTCH

 

 

 For most of us, the art work of the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian is perhaps fixed in our minds by his bold, bright rectangular or geometric shapes, similar to the montage graphic of our Mondrian painting above.

 In his day Mondrian was the leading artist of the 'De Stijl' or "the style" art movement, who were a group of Dutch artists that included Vilmos Huszár and Bart van der Leck, who were producing, abstract but disciplined and highly geometric formed art. However Mondrian's early work was more traditional, often painted from nature, but becoming increasingly abstract as he moved on. 

Mondrian ran the whole gamut of change in his life time with an ever evolving style. As did so many of his peers, he worked in a variety of mediums including oil paintings, watercolours, pastel, charcoal and pen and ink drawings. This makes authenticating any art work which signed either Mondriaan or Mondrian and believed to be authentic, more challenging.

 Technically, Piet Mondrian was an artist of astounding talent and a man who adapted his style of art by finding his own interpretations coming about by influence of the artistic movements of the age. It could be said, he went through every phase there was, from others versions of cubism to his very own and quite unique cubism based on the geometric form. Unfortunately, the art of Mondrian is not without attention from the opportunists. Those who may pick up an old or vintage period piece or study from an auction and make it into a Mondriaan by simply adding a fake signature or studio stamp. But moving to Paris in 1912, Piet Mondriaan begins to cleverly confuse us by dropping an 'a' from his surname and started signing his works 'Mondrian''

 In recent years an ever growing number of paintings bearing the name Piet Mondrian have been consigned for sale in auctions around the world and as the values of his works of art climb, there is a 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. So too that any description of a work of art seemingly by Mondrian 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.
