#13: Aubrey Catrone on “The World of Art Provenance”
Aubrey Catrone is an international art historian, appraiser, and provenance researcher. Aubrey earned an MA in History of Art from University College London, specializing in the documented histories of art objects, and is a USPAP-compliant Associate Member of the Appraisers Association of America. With an art gallery and academic research background, Catrone founded Proper Provenance, LLC to provide her clients with the tools, not only to historically contextualize art but also to shed light on attribution and legal title within the international art market.
Catrone has researched artworks including paintings, artifacts, works on paper, prints, and sculptures spanning the fourth century B.C. to the twenty-first century A.D. Aubrey’s volunteerism includes myriad projects with the Association for Research into Crimes Against Art (ARCA), the Cultural Plunder by the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg: Jeu de Paume Database, and the International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR).
I’m so excited to give a clearer picture of art provenance and its role in the art world. In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
- What is art provenance and why does it matter
- Why you want to do your due diligence when you purchase artwork
- The importance of your paperwork and the role it plays in art history.
And much more!
