Our team is global, with experts based in major cities such as Amsterdam, Paris, London, and Washington, offering both local expertise and a global perspective on art authentication.
Rivera Experts is an organization of professional fine art researchers and specialists with extensive experience researching the work of Diego Rivera. Our company was founded in 2002
to assist clients who believe they may own a lost, unidentified, or previously undocumented painting or drawing by this important Mexican artist.
Artist foundations, museums, and auction houses often do not have the time or resources to handle individual inquiries. We have developed relationships within the international art community and work with a network of specialists and institutions to research works attributed to Rivera.
We provide Diego Rivera authentication, attribution research, professional appraisals and valuations, and assistance selling Rivera paintings and drawings. When our research supports an attribution, we can also issue a Certificate of Authenticity.
Our methods combine documentary and provenance research with traditional art connoisseurship and comparative analysis. When appropriate, we can also coordinate forensic and scientific testing to investigate materials, age, signatures, and other physical characteristics of a work.
For owners wishing to sell, we provide valuation, market positioning, sales strategy, and private brokerage services. We can help determine the most appropriate way to offer a Rivera and, when suitable, assist with a confidential private sale through the international art market.
If you own, inherited, are considering buying, or wish to sell a Diego Rivera painting or drawing, contact us and send photographs and any information you have about its history.
If you think you may have an original by Diego Rivera we encourage you to send us some good photos of it. His works are highly valuable and easy to sell. We would be happy to authenticate it for you.
