"Art Fakes and The Statue of Limitations" - Alan Feld, Professor of Law

[Chapter 3 of this book is available for download by clicking here.]

Part of SPIE's* International Symposium on Voice, Video and Communications

19-22 September 1999 Hynes Convention Center Boston, Massachusetts USA

Conference Chairs: Duane R. Chartier, ConservArt Associates, Inc.; Walter McCrone, McCrone Research Institute; Richard J. Weiss, King's College

This two-day conference concentrated on scientific techniques such as carbon dating, optical microscopy, x-ray fluorescence, pigment analysis, x-radiography, laser profilometry, etc. used to authenticate art. In addition the conference explored new and old methods that complement connoisseurship. A round-table discussion attempted to present state of the subject and resulted in a very levely debate.

* SPIE is the International Society for Optical Engineering. These sessions were part of a much larger conference "Photonics East" that features advances in optical and electrical engineering. For more information on future meetings contact SPIE directly.
