The Expert Versus the Object
Author: Ronald D. SpencerPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780195147353
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
The authenticity of art has always commanded the attention of experts, dealers, collectors, and the art-minded public-especially those who relish the Robin Hoods of art forgery who deceive rich collectors and pompous experts. This book of essays, edited by a lawyer specializing in art law and authenticity, proposes to make the question of authenticity more easily understood. The main points to be argued are (1) that the perception of form in a work of art is not unlike other types of evidence accepted in courts of law; (2) that in determining authenticity, experts must adopt a careful, organized approach; and (3) that all authentication should be based on the consensus of experts at arm's length from an object.

Book Description
"The third part of the exhibition is more broadly based and is comprised of thirty-one paintings, watercolors, and sculptures that depict American Indian and American West with a sense of dignity and grandeur that was soon to disappaear as the Indians were displaced to reservations. ... George Caleb Bingham's 'The Concealed Enemey,' Frederic Remington's 'Halt-Dismount!', and Thomas Moran's 'Hot Springs of Gardiners River, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Territory' each depict a vastly different time and place. They share ... with other works in this exhibition by Seth Eastman, Alfred Jacob Miller, William Jacob Hays Sr., Albert Bierstadt, and Henry Farny, among others, a brilliant artistic understanding of the American Indian and the western American landscape before the spread of 'civilization' decreed that neither the actors nor the setting for the great American western drama would ever be the same again."--Introduction.
