Abstract

This invention is for a method for identification and control of the creator of a piece of art or other object. The method is based upon the marking of the piece of art or object by application of a small amount of the blood or other specific substance from the body of the creator, a quantity of the substance being deposited in special keeping for future analysis and comparison. When the creator of an object shall be identified or controlled this is done by analysis and comparison of the results of analysis from the substance which has been used for the marking of the object and the substance which has been deposited. Comparison can be done in different ways and so called DNA-analysis is a preferred choice. Further identifiable substances may be applied to the object and optionally react with the substance from the body.

Description

IDENTIFICATIONSYSTEM
The present invention is for a method for identification and control of the creator of pieces of art and other objects.
Falsifications of pieces of art have historically occured for a very long time and is an increasing problem. Famous artists like Rembrandt and Miro have often been copied and falsified, but this is equally frequent for works of less well-known artists. The origin of the copies or falsifications is often very difficult to determine and the technical development gives new possibilities for falsifications which are almost identical with the orginals and thus impossible to detect and confirm. In connection herewith one must also take time into consideration as pieces of art have a life of hundreds or thousands of years. Improved materials and more careful keeping can also be expected to further increase the life, especially of pieces of arts which are judged to be of high quality and therefore are handled with special care.
In view of the above it is seen as urgent to create a system which makes it possible in a long term view to safely determine the creator of a given piece of art. The system shall also include a method for identification and/or control of the creator of the art. The present invention is for such a way of identification and control.
The starting-point for the method according to the invention is that the piece of art or object is marked by the application of a small amount of the blood or other bodily genuine substance having unique identifiable properties of the creator or artist. This is made by the creator himself and, preferably, in connection with signing of the work. The amount of the substance used is then a drop or less down to the smallest amount which is required for analysis. Larger amounts may be used in special cases. Further, an quantity of the substance or blood of the creator shall be deposited in special keeping for future analysis and comparison. It is not necessary that the marking of the art and the deposition is made at the same occasion. Deposition only has to be done once while marking of the created works may take place at a great number of occasions.
When the creator of a work shall be identified or controlled this is done by an analysis and comparison with the results of analyses from the substance used for marking of the piece of art and the substance deposited in safe keeping. Comparison may be done in different ways and DNA-analysis of blood is a first choice. DNA-analysis is used for other purposes and can be used for an absolutely certain determination of agreement between reference blood and marking.
In order to avoid that i.e. stolen blood samples may be used for marking of falsifications, a further identifiable substance may be used for marking. This second substance may be an inorganic or organic substance of simple or more complicated composition and it may be applied to the work either mixed with the first substance or at another position. In the case of mixing one may also choose substances which by chemical reaction give further substances. A creator may use different additional substances for different pieces of art. In order to further protect the way of marking against falsifications, one may choose either to mark the piece of art and thereupon put the signature of the artist across the marking or make the marking at a given position on the art, the position being known only to the artist or to a very limited number of persons.
For the utilization of the method according to the invention there is organized by agreements with the creators a system for keeping of deposited blood and information about other chemical substances which have been added by the marking of the pieces of art and about wherein or onto the object the marking has been done. This information is kept under complete secrecy and is only taken out in order to determine, if needed, the identity of a creator.
Different embodiments are possible within the scope of the invention. It is, however, essential that the identification and controll of the works of a creator is based upon the use of a personally unique substance of the body which may easily be transferred to the works.

Claims

1) Method for identification and control of the creator of pieces of art and other objects, characterized therein that the object is marked by the application of a small amount of a substance which is unique for the body of the creator and that an amount of this substance is deposited in special keeping for future analysis and comparison.
2) Method according to claim 1, characterized therein that the unique substance from the body is blood.
3) Method according to any fo the preceding claims, characterized therein that at least one more identifiable substance is applied to the object.
4) Method according to claim 1, characterized therein that at least the substance used for marking is mixed with at least one more identifiable substance.
5) Method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized therein that the creator puts his signature across the substance applied.
6) Method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized therein that the identity of the unique bodily substance is determined by DNA-analysis.
