COULD YOUR ARTWORK BE BY DAVID GARSHEN BOMBERG?

Previously unknown works by important artists continue to emerge from private collections, estates, inheritances, and long-held family possessions. While authentic works by David Garshen Bomberg may be rare, every work deserves to be evaluated on its own merits rather than dismissed simply because it is unfamiliar or undocumented.

If you believe your painting, drawing, or print may be by David Garshen Bomberg, obtaining an independent professional opinion is the appropriate first step. Bomberg worked extensively as a painter and draughtsman and also produced prints.

We have specialized in the authentication of works attributed to David Garshen Bomberg since 2002. We issue Certificates of Authenticity (COAs), Authentication Reports, appraisals, valuations, provenance reports, and provide buying, selling, brokerage, and investment advisory services for collectors, attorneys, insurers, financial institutions, estates, museums, and private clients worldwide.

Getting started is straightforward. Simply send us photographs of the work together with its dimensions and any information you have regarding its history or ownership. After reviewing the material, we will recommend the most appropriate course of action.

AUTHENTICATION

Is this a David Garshen Bomberg?

From a single photograph of ordinary quality, we can often determine whether a work appears consistent with David Garshen Bomberg’s work or whether it clearly does not. Bomberg’s style changed considerably from the highly geometric compositions of his early career to the more expressive and figurative paintings of his later years, so the appropriate period must be considered.

What services do you provide?

We provide authentication, certification, Certificates of Authenticity (COAs), Authentication Reports, appraisals and valuations, provenance research, private sales and brokerage, investment advice, and analytical art market research.

Is it possible to discover a previously unknown David Garshen Bomberg today?

Yes. Paintings, drawings, and other works can remain in private collections, estates, and family holdings for decades without being widely documented or published.

Do I need to get my David Garshen Bomberg authenticated?

Yes. Authentication is essential if you wish to sell your work for its full market value. It is also important for insurance, estate planning, charitable donations, financing, and many legal purposes.

Is it complicated to get a David Garshen Bomberg authenticated?

Not for you. Simply send us photographs of the front and reverse, close-up photographs of the signature, inscriptions, and important details, the dimensions, and anything you know about the work’s history. The investigation itself is our responsibility.

How long does it take to authenticate a David Garshen Bomberg?

It depends on how much is already known about the work when we begin the investigation. In the simplest cases, authenticity can be confirmed within a couple of weeks. More complex cases may require several months.

How much does it cost to authenticate a David Garshen Bomberg?

From the low hundreds to the high thousands. It depends on how much is already known and documented, where relevant archives are located, and whether travel or scientific testing is required.

Can a signature alone prove that a David Garshen Bomberg painting or drawing is authentic?

No. A signature must be considered together with the technique, materials, support, provenance, inscriptions, and other physical and documentary evidence.

Can an unsigned David Garshen Bomberg painting or drawing still be authentic?

Yes. The absence of a signature does not by itself make a Bomberg painting or drawing inauthentic. The work must be evaluated as a whole.

What documents help authenticate a David Garshen Bomberg painting or drawing?

Any document that mentions, describes, illustrates, or refers to the work may assist the authentication. Photographs, invoices, correspondence, exhibition records, restoration or conservation reports, insurance documents, auction records, and family papers can all contribute valuable evidence.

Can a David Garshen Bomberg painting or drawing be authenticated from photographs?

Yes. High-quality photography is an extremely useful authentication tool and allows us to study the composition, paint surface or paper, technique, signature, inscriptions, and other important characteristics remotely. When additional evidence is required, we may recommend an in-person examination. We examine works worldwide.

Is it always necessary to perform scientific analyses of a David Garshen Bomberg?

No. Many works can be authenticated through research, provenance investigation, comparative analysis, and technical examination. Scientific testing of pigments, paint layers, canvas, paper, or other materials is generally reserved for more difficult cases.

What if my David Garshen Bomberg has no provenance?

Incomplete provenance is common. When provenance is incomplete, authentication relies more heavily on research, technical examination, photography, comparative analysis, and, where appropriate, scientific testing.
