De Chirico Authentication Board Challenged By Studies

The Archive for Metaphysical Art is taking aim at the De Chirico Authentication Board due to alleged inconsistencies and questions about how they make their authenticating decisions. The main focus of the studies are paintings made from the 1930s onward, which the artist himself backdated, due to larger demand for his older work. The AMA believes he may have back-dated 140 pieces while the authentication board believes he performed this action around 40 times.Take a look...
