Abstract

The determination of art fraud and trafficking frequently relies on the ability to determine the difference in paint composition based on geographical origin and era of manufacture. It therefore follows that the same analytical techniques that are used for art restoration and historical investigations into artwork can also be used for forensic investigations into art fraud and trafficking.
