Ways to Distinguish an Art Reproduction from an Original Piece

Article Category: Arts and Crafts

Author Name: Paul Cleary

There are many art reproductions or imitations nowadays that look exactly like an original piece. If you like collecting genuine art works, you must inspect a piece thoroughly before buying it. One has to pay a huge sum to check if a painting is real or fake but there are also inexpensive ways of determining its genuineness. In this article are the ways to distinguish an art imitation or a canvas art reproduction from an original piece.

If you want an original art work, the first thing to do would be evaluating the painting in your hands with the other artworks of the same artist. See if the signatures match. You can also check the back of the painting if there are similar notes by the artist. If you see that the signatures or notes are dissimilar, you are sure that what you have in your hands is just a perfect imitation.

Before buying an art work, request for a certificate of authenticity from the art dealer. Usually, dealers have this on the paintings they sell in order to show collectors of their authenticity. You can also buy original pieces from known and trusted art dealers.

Always scrutinize the painting carefully. One technique to check that it is not an art reproduction is by holding it under a light so as to inspect it from the back. The painting is not original if the back and the whole scene is clear. An original canvas painting also utilizes a stretcher which helps determine its age. A tree ring measurement method establishes the age of the canvas frame by giving details regarding the time the wood was cut.

By simply touching the painting, this can help you determine if it is genuine or an art reproduction. If you feel the paint, you are sure that it is not a computer art or a mere photograph. Use this method in determining the authenticity of a painting. The problem is there are dealers who do not allow their pieces to be touched by possible sellers.

Use a magnifying glass in examining the painting. A reproduction will always have a dot matrix pattern. This means it is generated by a computer that used the method of photo reproduction.

Paintings you see in museums are often genuine. This is because they use software that determines and inspects thoroughly thread patterns in an artwork to check if it is authentic or not. If you want to buy a genuine painting, always hire a professional to inspect it. Make sure to ask the professional the kind of method he uses to determine authenticity. You can also go to a museum curator to help you out.

If you are the type of person who just wants an imitation of the Mona Lisa, go for art reproductions as they are less expensive and appear to be exactly the same as the original.
