Art Recognition

AI-based authenticity analysis for paintings.

​

Art Recognition provides: A deep-learning assessment of whether a painting is by a given artist, returned as a probability — a percentage likelihood of authenticity — generated by a model trained on authenticated works. Delivered as a commissioned report: the firm runs the analysis and returns its findings, rather than the collector operating the tool directly. Sits at the attribution and authentication stage, where the open question is a single work's authorship rather than its market value.

Art Recognition is best suited for: Collectors holding a work whose attribution is uncertain or contested, and those seeking an additional, independent line of evidence to set alongside connoisseurial opinion and documented provenance. Most relevant where authorship itself — not price — is the question to be settled.

What The Bespoke AI Art Confidante adds: Art Recognition returns a number; it cannot tell a collector how much weight that number should carry. The Bespoke AI Art Confidante situates the result — how a probabilistic score sits beside expert judgment and provenance, what a confidence band does and does not settle, and how a contested attribution bears on a work's place in the collection, its insurability, and its succession.
