Signatures in Artworks

Betty Sutton

Technical

Betty covers the history of signatures on artworks from Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) to many other famous artists and the use of signatures to both reveal authenticity or fraudulence of the artwork. She discusses the practice as a part of the artistic process – a note to yourself to say “This piece is complete, don’t rework it” and how to view your procedure.
