Authentication and Attribution by Collaboration
Reputations and fortunes hang in the balance when the attribution and authentication of art is required or challenged.
In this high profile cottage industry, chasms exist between art and technology, those inside recognized institutions and those
on the outside. South Florida is uniquely positioned to bridge that gap and host an Americas Center for Truth in Art (ACTA),
an independent, objective committee of conservationist, technologists, historians, connoisseurs and curators.
Our Mission
ACTA plans on establishing a state-of-the-art authentication laboratory, examining works of art from around the
world. ACTA will produce reliable and scientifically defensible art authentications via real-time access to credible and secured
comparative data within an environment free from risks of personal disgrace, institutional prestige and the conflictive effects
of money and fame. ACTA will thrive in our community by leveraging higher education, capital resources and a robust art ecosystem.
