Our Story
Around 20-50% of fine artworks circulating in the art market worldwide are forgeries, misattributions, or authorship unknown. The sector is notorious for asymmetrical, opaque and distorted information, forcing people to trade in uncertainty, sometimes with disastrous consequences - litigation, loss of wealth, stress and anxiety, risking buying fakes.
Purveyors of information include art history connoisseurs and materials art scientists - micro-business owners distributed globally, yet operating locally in isolated silos, their knowledge unshared.
For the past 25 years Dr Nicholas Eastaugh has been providing services to the art market, and recognised the opportunity to share his knowledge, and know-how with a wider audience through a different means. Thus, Vasarik was born to democratise access to accurate and timely information regarding artworks.

I’ve known Nicholas for a long time, so it was exciting to hear about Vasarik and the new team. I enjoyed working with Nicholas some years ago at Art Analysis, when I was fascinated by the projects he was working on and the groundbreaking approaches he was developing.
