New Course: Introduction to Provenance Research

For more than 50 years, IFAR’s resources on provenance, catalogues raisonnés, and authentication have been utilized by colleagues working in museums, academia, and across the art market. We are increasingly approached by individuals interested in developing skills in provenance research and establishing themselves in this rapidly evolving field. IFAR is pleased to announce that it is offering an introductory, practical course in provenance research aimed at both advanced students and professionals (July 16–Aug. 1, 2024).

 
In this live-taught six-session course run by IFAR, participants will learn how to investigate, develop, and interpret provenance narratives for artworks from antiquity to the present. Topics include: 
  • Tools to build object histories
  • Nazi-Era claims and restitution
  • Due diligence and compliance
  • Cultural heritage issues
  • Red flags for antiquities
  • How to spot fakes and forged documentation
