Can an Artist’s DNA Help Detect Forgeries?
SHARE

Art forgery is a longstanding issue in the art world, with some individuals producing a large number of fraudulent works attributed to various artists. From ancient times to the present day, there have been copyists and imitators creating fake artworks for profit. In the 21st Century, as the art market has become a lucrative business for wealthy collectors, the trade in forgeries has reached new heights.

One notable case of art forgery is that of Jean-François Millet’s grandson, who produced fake preparatory drawings of his grandfather’s famous work, “Man with a Hoe.” Selling these fake studies to unsuspecting buyers, he managed to deceive many individuals before being exposed. Similarly, the prestigious Knoedler & Co. gallery fell victim to an enormous art fraud scandal, selling over 40 paintings attributed to famous artists like Robert Motherwell and Jackson Pollock, all possibly painted by one man, Pei-Shen Qian.

Detecting art forgeries can be challenging, but experts use various methods, including examining provenance, analyzing brush strokes and styles, and conducting scientific testing on paint pigments and canvases. Recently, advancements in technology have allowed for the use of AI to analyze artwork for subtle patterns. Additionally, a new method involving DNA testing could revolutionize the authentication process for artworks.

The Leonardo da Vinci DNA Project has been working on developing non-invasive testing methods to create a “biome profile” of artists. By analyzing biological residues on artworks, including DNA markers of the artist, researchers hope to accurately identify the creators of various pieces. This method could also be used to create a database of known forgers’ biomes, aiding in the authentication process.

As the demand for great art continues to rise, the risk of art forgery also increases. With DNA testing becoming more accessible, it may soon be possible to detect forgeries with certainty. By collecting DNA from both artists and known forgers, a database could be created to help verify the authenticity of artworks. This innovative approach could provide a new level of security in the art authentication process, deterring deception and ensuring the integrity of the art market.
