Today's blog accompanies a lecture, "Unmasking Art Forgeries," I am giving at our local Osher Lifelong Learning Center.
Below are the links I promised.
THE CASE OF THE GEORGIA O'KEEFFE WATERCOLORS
Below are the links I promised.
THE CASE OF THE J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM KOUROS
One of my earlier blogs on this topic (a summary of the research findings)
The Getty museums's own catalog entry on the Kouros
THE CASE OF THE SHROUD OF TURIN
A good summary website (there are many, many more if you google the Shroud!)
Microscopist Walter McCrone's research, with links to his technical articles
Magazine article from 2000.
A paper conservator's report
Finally, although this is an older book, it is a wonderful summary of how science can help museums evaluate their collections: Science and the Past, edited by Sheridan Boman (University of Toronto Press, 1991)
