Services

Our research arm, Kline Art Research Associates Inc. specializes in art attribution/authentication projects for unidentified and misidentified paintings, drawings and sculpture, 16th-20th centuries. We endeavor to answer the questions “Who did it?   Is it authentic?” Consultation with a worldwide network of art historian associates is a standard research practice.

​

Additionally, we selectively offer Notarized Appraisal Documents for fine art, for purposes of insurance and donation, as well as estate valuation. Our appraisal division looks into valuation as well as determining authenticity. 

                                                                     ***

Our company's approach is scholarly, rather than commercial, with an emphasis on connoisseurship, art historical importance, aesthetic quality and, not least, research and development.

​

We are Generalist Art Historians and our interest and expertise is wide ranging. We remain open and delighted by works of high quality from diverse periods of art history.

​

The Kline Art History Library is open by appointment to artists, students and scholars.

Many notable discoveries have resulted from our investigations over the last 30 years.
