Authentication
Ritchie Sinclair, an expert in Morrisseau Art, offers an authentication service to provide peace of mind and financial value to genuine Morrisseau artworks. As a former protégé of Morrisseau, Sinclair has years of experience painting side-by-side with his mentor and has studied Morrisseau’s art in-depth, including identifying forgeries. He has appeared in court numerous times to defend Morrisseau’s name and artwork and played a significant role in ending the mass production of Morrisseau forgeries. Sinclair is considered the go-to person for Morrisseau art authentication by other experts.
I appreciate your research on and the authentication process for my painting. The appraisal was detailed and professional. Definitely recommend your services.
I was very concerned about the authenticity of two Norval Morrisseau paintings that I had purchased almost 30 years ago. I reached out to Ritchie after seeing him in the documentary and to my pleasant surprise, he answered my email promptly. I felt secure in his ability to spot a fake Morrisseau because of the time spent with Norval and that he has been active in trying to clean up the mess left by others over the years, much to his own detriment. I received his certificates of authentication and now feel much better when I look at these two lovely pieces, not having to wonder about them being real or not. Thank you Ritchie for providing great service!
Just want to say thank you for all the information you have provided throughout this process. Not only am I grateful to have these paintings authenticated by a protégé of Norval, but also to hear brief stories and knowledge that comes with these pieces. The symbolism involved in woodland art is part of what drives my passion, whether it be a simple piece or a complex one, the story it’s able to provide is like no other. Feel free to use my words, couldn’t be more pleased with this experience.
