About us
The International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR) is a not-for-profit educational and research organization dedicated to integrity in the visual arts. IFAR offers impartial and authoritative information on authenticity, ownership, theft, and other artistic, legal, and ethical issues concerning art objects. IFAR serves as a bridge between the public, and the scholarly and commercial art communities. We publish the quarterly IFAR Journal; organize conferences, panels, and lectures; offer a unique Art Authentication Research Service; and serve as an information resource. We invite all people interested in the visual arts to join our organization and help support our activities. IFAR was established in 1969 to fill a need for an impartial and scholarly body to educate the public about problems and issues in the art world and to research the attribution and authenticity of works of art. In the 1970's, IFAR's purview expanded to include art theft and looting, and art and cultural property law and ethics. IFAR serves a broad audience and operates at the intersection where the interests of art law, art collectors, museums, galleries, scholars, and the public meet. Among other goals, it works to prevent the circulation of forged, misattributed, or misappropriated art. IFAR has earned a reputation for objectivity, scholarship, and independence, and its assistance is sought world-wide by law enforcement and government agencies, collectors, educational institutions, researchers, journalists, and the vast public interested in the visual arts, who often have no where else to turn. IFAR is headquartered in New York, and its public programs are also in New York. IFAR carries out its mission through several important activities: * Art Authentication Research Service * IFAR Journal * Art Theft Database * Programs & Events * Participation in International Symposia / Discussions

On November 23,1988, minutes before closing, a young man held up the Rodin Museum in Philidelphia fired a shot into the museum wall, handcuffed three guards, and took off with the 10-inch bronze, Mask of the Man with the Broken Nose. The purloined bust was Auguste Rodin’s (1840-1917) head study of a local laborer named Bibi. Despite his broken nose and rough-hewn features, Rodin said of Bibi, “In his own way, he was beautiful… that man taught me many things.” And of this early work, he proudly declared, “I have never made anything better.” The bust had been part of the Rodin Museum’s collection for almost 60 years when it was stolen. It was later recovered in an FBI raid of the home of the thief’s mother, wrapped in newspaper in the basement. Hear FBI Art Crime detective Robert Wittman, who was part of the team that tracked down Rodin’s stolen bronze, discuss this case and many others in IFAR’s new Art Crime online course.

As AI continues to dominate the headlines and as the governments respond to the potential challenges around AI, this panel will explore and identify the potential use case for AI for art business. The conversation will focus on how and why machine learning works and how this can be used in the authentication process together with a relevant case study. The panel will explore how connoisseurship and market decisions can be enhanced by AI by looking at private and public market data, how to drive adoption in the art market, and what the primary threats/risks are to doing so. The session will also include the latest updates on legislation on generative AI. This is one you will not want to miss.
