Description
The internet continues to advance and develop the provision of high-quality, free-access information. IFAR is one such excellent and authoritative resource for current and historical information about art business throughout the world. It has recently launched two new unique and valuable online databases, which we will examine in detail: an international artlaw and ethical issues archive, and a wide range of artists' catalogues raisonnes. www.ifar.org Established in 1969 as a not-for-profit educational and research organisation, IFAR operates out of New York. It is 'dedicated to integrity in the visual arts', and provides 'impartial and authoritative information on authenticity, ownership, theft, and other artistic, legal, and ethical issues concerning art objects'. IFAR publishes a quarterly journal that includes a regular Stolen Art Alert compiled in conjunction with the Art Loss Register and Interpol; organises educational events (in the US) about art business; has a uniquely impartial Art Authentication Research Service that examines works of questionable authenticity or authorship (its experts have 'no financial interest in the outcome' of their research and opinions); and for over 30 years has operated an Art Theft Database, which stimulated the establishment of the international Art Loss Register in 1991.
