attribution

...Authentication naturally involves the question of authenticity, but the work of appraisal also includes determining whether a work is a copy made by a disciple or assistant, whether it is a work made in a workshop, and which parts were contributed by multiple artists, as well as discovering restorations or repairs made by other people or later generations. The ultimate goal of appraisal is to determine the artist, or what is known as attribution, but the results can also have a significant impact on the market (commercial) value of the work, and in this respect appraisal is different in nature from purely academic research into the artist or date of production of a work.

[欧米]
 真贋問題も含めた鑑定の歴史は西洋ではルネサンス時代にさかのぼるが,しかし近代的な意味での鑑定が行われ始めたのは,美術館が整備され,その所蔵品の整理,研究,あるいはカタログ化が盛んになり,また美術史そのものの研究が飛躍的な展開を見た19世紀後半からである。…
