Don, Although probably out of date, one reference to NIR and art fraud is in "Leaping Ahead with Near Infrared Spectroscopy" (Proceedings of NIR-94, Australia) - M. Muller and F. Bayerer, pp. 519-523 (1995). The study related to the Munich Rembrandt Forgeries. The paper was entitled "The application of imaging spectroscopy to fine art objects." You were at the conference, so may remember it! Peter | ||

Don - Rob Lodder did a lot of work examining artworks with NIR. I don't know if he was targeting fraud ecpecially, but he would certainly be a person you should talk to. \o/ /_\ | ||

Don, I seem to remember that the Boston Museum did some of this work but I don't remember the reference. | ||

I had reason to hope that NIR played a role in detecting the Viking map fraud, since I thought the TV program mentioned NIR-Raman. It didn�t, and the paper by K L Brown and R J H Clark identified only a 632.8 nm wavelength. So, I�m still looking for instances where NIR has been used to detect fraud in the area of art. Can anyone provide me with leads? |
