<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This is the first accessible reference handbook to cover key aspects of provenance research for the international art market. It guides the reader from a basic introduction to research methods to questions of ethics and the challenges of specific case histories and contexts. Provenance research is a crucial component of any art-market transaction. Without a provenance it is often difficult to establish a work's authenticity, its true value or who has legal title. Whether buying, selling or simply maintaining an artwork in either a private or a public collection, the days when a blind eye could be turned to the history (or the lack of a known history) of a work have long gone. Proper, thorough and effective provenance research is the minimum required and demanded in today's art world - a world that is increasingly recognizing the need for greater and more effective self-regulation in the face of fakes, forgeries and challenges to ownership or authenticity that are now commonplace. <i>The Provenance Research Today</i> is the essential reference tool for anyone involved in the art world, including provenance researchers, owners or would-be owners, sellers of artworks, galleries, auction houses, collectors, dealers, museums, galleries, police and art lawyers.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Arthur Tompkins</b> is a District Court Judge based in Wellington, New Zealand. He is author of <i>Plundering Beauty</i> (Lund Humphries, 2018) and editor of <i>Art Crime and Its Prevention: A Handbook for Collectors</i> (Lund Humphries, 2016).
