Since 1970, IFAR has offered a unique, impartial and authoritative Art Authentication Research Service for works of art whose authorship is in question. IFAR draws on its own distinguished Art Advisory Council and an international network of eminent scholars, connoisseurs and conservators. As a nonprofit educational organization with no financial interest in the outcome, IFAR is free to render objective opinions independent of the marketplace and to publish the results of its research. IFAR does not offer monetary appraisals.
