The lack of modern investigation methods in our country, as well as the lack of a proper education in the spirit of recognizing, cataloguing and (re)finding the status of an object, the irresponsibility and indifference towards value recognition and the denial of a real “true” have led to false attribution of works of art whose authenticity has been recognized for centuries.
Recent findings as to provenience, belonging, identification and authentication of art work have had tragic sentimental effect both on micro-groups and at human community level.
In the respect of identification and authentication, the contribution of
enlargening the real possibilities, of showing the miracle of creation, through
the implication of science, sometimes comes to demolish myths, the great “creations”
of times past, leading to new “realities”, images, relations,
rules, concepts and bridges over time.
Do you need an evaluation in order to ensure the works of art from your personal patrimony, a listing or cataloguing of your inheritance? Do you want to make a donation? Does it help you in partition , succession, or is it pure curiosity?
Through our specialists who are licensed by the Ministry of Culture, Cults
and National Patrimony, Transilvania Art Gallery can offer you full evaluation
and authentication services for your art, handicraft, artifact works.
Expertise (verbal counseling or professional counseling underpinned
with written advice, photos of the whole object and signature or other specific
detail) can be made at the gallery or on request at the customer’s home.
We also offer certificates about the state of conservation,
counseling for passive / active conservation of objects, thus preventing further
damage / alteration that could lead to the necessity of a destructive last
moment restoration, in order to save the object.
