Since IFAR’s inception, it has offered an Authentication Research Service — unique in the U.S. — which researches art works whose authenticity or authorship are in question. IFAR's experts and researchers have no financial interest in the outcome, and are free to render objective opinions. IFAR is also free to publish its research in the IFAR Journal or elsewhere. In this way, IFAR can inform the public and scholars about issues relating to authenticity and help prevent the trafficking of forged or misattributed art.
