Ever wondered how art museums decide if a painting is a fake? I meet with Dr. Greggory Smith, a forensic art scientist, to follow a painting they suspect is a forgery. We will use everything from x ray fluorescence to electron microscopy to figure this case out. You will be amazed at the techniques used by an art forger to fake a buyer!

It is amazing what's possible with technology now and how they are able to gather so much information from either ridiculously tiny samples or without even disturbing the painting at all!

TomHaroldArt Totally agree! I had no idea how small that sample actually is. Fascinating mix of science, art, and forensics.

Nice investigations if one is a rich connoisseur.But what about the somewhat average collectors who don't possess deep pockets?

@artrageousnate 5 жыл бұрын

Robert Buchwald hmm, good point. I do know that if you contact this museum department about a possible forgery they would take a look. Otherwise, I’m sure you can find an art expert like someone from The Antique Road Show. Anyway, thanks for the feedback and for watching!

You think people would be more careful when making fakes.

That’s why more forgeries are done if more modern art. Much easier to fake.

Good point. There is a whole documentary on a lady who purchased what she believed to be a Jackson Pollock painting.The professionals in the end can't decide if it's a fake or not, it's just too hard to tell! Thanks for the feedback, and for watching!

I felt the exact same way. Had no idea just how much they can learn from a sample so small! Pretty amazing.

How do you get into art forensics

Tiffany Lastinger I asked the same question! Dr. Greg has an extensive background in forensic science, and even teaches classes on it at a local university. He also has a passion for the arts, so he also has a background in art history. Fascinating line of work! Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
