Protecting and managing the identity and authenticity of an artist’s oeuvre, particularly in light of the transitory and ephemeral modes of expression used in contemporary art, is a complicated business today. One of the greatest challenges in contemporary art relates to the complexity of the systems of authorship recognition and guarantee, and, also in artistic terms, what authenticity means in relation to creations by artists, and how it can be protected. The enormous transformation in visual art has prompted, or perhaps compelled, artists to invent original systems of authentication and traceability of their creations.

Abstract
Protecting and managing the identity and authenticity of an artist’s oeuvre, particularly in light of the transitory and ephemeral modes of expression used in contemporary art, is a complicated business today. One of the greatest challenges in contemporary art relates to the complexity of the systems of authorship recognition and guarantee, and, also in artistic terms, what authenticity means in relation to creations by artists, and how it can be protected. The enormous transformation in visual art has prompted, or perhaps compelled, artists to invent original systems of authentication and traceability of their creations.
