Behind all the sensational headlines of rediscovered artworks around the world, there is a whole process of authentication and evaluation. Evaluating a work of art is a difficult exercise that requires a great deal of knowledge about a period, an artist, a movement and the market. In this episode we meet Betsy Thomas, who has been appraising art for over 25 years and now teaches the techniques of this complex and painstaking practice.
