A Brief Description

KLINE Art Research Associates specializes in Appraisals, Attribution & Authentication of European & American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture, 15th-20th centuries.

As Appraisers of Fine Art—for over twenty years—we offer professionally written and carefully researched Appraisal and Art Record documents developed with connoisseurship, art historical expertise, and in-depth art market experience. We are experienced in charitable donations, personal property insurance, and estate matters involving fine art properties.

Attribution & Authentication projects are generally concerned with seeking to discover who made unsigned works of art (Who is the artist? Is it the real thing?). We are also involved with authenticating signed works as well (Is it the real thing?). These projects involve our interaction with a worldwide network of art historians and art research facilities. We have made many important discoveries over the years (see a selection below). To assist in our research, our firm has a non-lending Art Research Library with some 2,000 books. The Kline Art Research Library also serves as a community educational resource open to scholars, artists, and students by appointment, at no charge.

Our parent company, Fred R. Kline Gallery, established in 1979, exhibits works of art to the public and guides the marketing, brokering and sales of fine art, 15th-20th centuries.

We welcome your inquiries. Please don't hesitate to call with your questions.

Some Noteworthy Discoveries

Our special interest over the last 30 years has been the search for and ultimately the discovery and sale of "lost art". The goal of our research is to give a name to art without a name and then to place these art discoveries in collections and in the archives of art history.

The following works came to Art Research Associates unsigned and without authentication, a common characteristic in art that we refer to as "lost art" or "unnoticed art". Renaissance art historian Bernard Berenson liked the term "homeless" for works that he discovered.
