Steven R. Schindler and Katherine Wilson-Milne write: When the authenticity of a work of art is at issue, judges must make authenticity determinations based on the facts and opinions of experts presented to them, just as in other specialized subject matters. Unlike in a patent or medical malpractice case, however, written opinions of judges affirming the authenticity of an artwork will carry little weight in the actual art market where a recognized art market player or industry expert has declared that work inauthentic.
