The $65B art market is growing rapidly and becoming a common asset

class for diversified investment portfolios, yet it lacks a reliable protocol for

avoiding fakes and frauds.

Investment in fine art continues to be a leap of faith predicated almost entirely on expert opinions rather than scientific fact.

The answer is to create a stable path for investors to protect their assets

through indisputable evidence that supports and secures art investments.

Great Masters Art Authentication provides the scientific methodology, the

technical expertise and the vision to create the international gold standard for

art authentication.

CONTEMPORARYCHINESE ART

This period is the current focus of Great Masters Art

Authentication services. The period includes Old Masters

from the Renaissance through early Impressionists.

Fraud and forgeries are at an all time high for this sector. We are

developing the technology to digitally fingerprint art, which will

become the basis for a global authentication service.

Similarly to Modern Art, Great Masters Art can provide

museums, collectors, and investors tools to combat

crimes against these artworks and ultimately standardize an

authentication system.

China’s art market is exploding as Chinese investors look for

ways to diversify. Great Masters will gain inroads to the huge Chinese Art market with our

fingerprint technology.
