Questions About Unknown Artist Signature
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    To find an artist's signature, look at the top and bottom corners of a piece. The signature may appear close to the frame or a couple of inches from it. If you need assistance identifying the artist based on the signature, try the Smartify app. Using your smartphone or tablet camera, you can scan the image to find out if it matches one of the thousands of entries in the application's database. Should you need help with the identification process, a knowledgeable art dealer or appraiser can be of assistance. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of fine art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 21, 2024
    Yes, there is an app for identifying artists' signatures. Called Smartify, the app is available for both iOS and Android devices. The app can be helpful in determining who created a work based on signatures. However, reviews suggest that it does have limits. For the app to properly identify a painting or other piece of art, the artist must be included in its database, and because there is a lot of art in the world, not all artists can be found in the app.

    Note that not all names you find on a given work of art may belong to an artist. Previous owners may have written their names on the back of the painting you’re examining, for example. If you’re trying to identify an artist’s signature, you should work with an art authenticator or other industry specialist who is familiar with authentications in the era or style of your artwork.

    On 1stDibs, read about what famous artists' signatures can tell you and explore a wide variety of fine art for sale.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    To tell if an artist's signature is real, you generally need to compare it to images of their signature on authenticated works. You can find such pictures posted on the pages of trusted online resources. However, some counterfeiters are very skilled at copying signatures, making it difficult to determine reproductions from originals in some cases. As a result, experts typically recommend having a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer assist you with the authentication process. Find a wide variety of art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    To identify an artist's oil painting signature, you can try photographing it with your smartphone and then conducting a reverse image search using a trusted search engine. You can also search for the name and consult trusted online resources to learn more about the artist. If these methods don't result in a successful identification, a certified art appraiser or art dealer may be able to assist you. Shop a range of oil paintings from some of the world’s top galleries on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Yes, paintings by unknown artists may be worth something in some cases. When a painting’s maker isn't a well-known artist or is completely anonymous, factors like the visual appeal, historical significance, previous ownership and condition will determine the value of a painting. A certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can evaluate your piece using these criteria and provide you with an estimated value for your art. Shop a wide range of paintings on 1stDibs.
