Warhol Foundation Revamps Authentication Committee

The Warhol Foundation has appointed two former curators to join its authentication committee to judge the authenticity of works said to be by the late artist. “Since 2003, the board has been under fire from owners of rejected works and members of the artist’s circle who claim their knowledge of Warhol’s practice is ignored. The board has routinely denied the authenticity of silkscreens made without Warhol’s direct supervision, but his former associates argue that to reject such works contradicts Warhol’s practice of having works of art printed without his direct oversight.”
