Vietnam to open first paintings authentication center
Published: 17/01/2010 05:00
Vietnamâs first fine arts authentication center will open later this year, aiming to protect both authors and buyers, Vi Kien Thanh, director of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, told Thanh Nien. | |||||||
He said the center, which will be managed by his museum, was necessary to make the countryâs fine arts sector âhealthier.â âGenuine works will receive the centerâs certificate. This will be a place for painting auctions, so bidders can feel safe about the worksâ origins,â Thanh said. He said the museum would soon buy equipment for the center, but admitted they would be of limited utility. âEquipments can help us know the age of a canvas, or how many color layers the paintings have. But they canât help us learn about the workâs content and style,â said Thanh. âTo inspect a paintingâs style and ascertain whether the work belongs to this or that painter, we need the experience, research and knowledge of professionals.â âWe canât demand that art experts will never make any mistake, as inspecting a work is not like solving a mathematical problem,â he said. In case the centerâs verification process turns out to be wrong and causes losses, the director of Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, not professionals, will compensate, Thanh said. âAuthentication professionals will be affected only in terms of their reputation and credibility,â he said.
