How can you tell if an artist’s signature is real?
1 Answer

To tell if an artist's signature is real, you generally need to compare it to images of their signature on authenticated works. You can find such pictures posted on the pages of trusted online resources. However, some counterfeiters are very skilled at copying signatures, making it difficult to determine reproductions from originals in some cases. As a result, experts typically recommend having a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer assist you with the authentication process. Find a wide variety of art on 1stDibs.
