Richard Polsky updates us on his art authentication business

In this week’s edition of the ArtTactic Podcast, Richard Polsky,
author, dealer and the founder of Richard Polsky Art Authentication
returns to the podcast to update us on his authentication business
as well as discuss some recent happenings in the art world. First,
Richard updates us as to how the authentication service is going
thus far, which was launched last October focused exclusively on
authenticating Andy Warhols. Then, Richard reveals that he has
expanded his authentication business to include Jean-Michel
Basquiat and Keith Haring and explains some of the key factors to
consider when trying to authenticate their artworks. Meanwhile,
while the authentication services for Warhol, Basquiat and Haring
are now defunct in large part due to costly litigation, Richard
explains why he believes he will be able to avoid such costs. Also,
he reveals to what extent he has communicated with these respective
artists’ estates regarding his authentication business. Lastly,
Richard shares his thoughts on the current state of the art market
and also reacts to the breaking news regarding Alec Baldwin, Mary
Boone and Ross Bleckner.
