KLINE Art Research Associates

Attribution & Authentication of European & American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture, 15th-20th centuries. Selected fine art appraisals.

Attribution & Authentication projects are generally concerned with discovering 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 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.

As Appraisers of Fine Art—for thirty 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.

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. 

Regarding Discoveries and Lost Art

Fred R. Kline's quest as art historian and art dealer over the last 30 years has been focused on "lost art": the search for it, the surprising discoveries, and ultimately the sale of a proven treasure to responsible collections. The underlying goal of Kline's research has been to give a name to art without a name and to place new discoveries into the archives of art history.

The following works of art came to Kline Art Research Associates as Unsigned and Unattributed, Without Research, Without Authentication-Expertise, Unpublished: common characteristics in works Generalist art historian Fred Kline refers to as "lost art".  Renaissance art historian Bernard Berenson preferred the term "homeless" for works he discovered.

Narratives of many discoveries will be published

in Fred R. Kline's forthcoming book:
