Paintings and assets are always at the verge of getting stolen or being forged out of the secure facility. Blockchain saves and secures your artwork with multiple sensors so in case any of them is triggered in case of painting theft or else, the alarms go off. Thus, the security teams are notified, and they can take immediate action to do their best to prevent theft. Blockchain is one of the most effective methods for preventing crimes from occurring. ArtChain provides state of the art facility with multiple sensors for the security system and is internationally tested. The sensors include the following:
· GPS Tracking
· Touch and Pressure on the Canvas
· Movement Sensor/ Removal of Painting from wall
· Change in Temperature
Following are some of the examples of popular artwork forgeries that might not have taken place if there had been a blockchain system there and then.
Multiple Forgeries of Artworks by Jean-Baptiste
Jean Baptiste Camille Corot was one of the most popular and well-known portrait painters of French origin. His greatest artworks were, unfortunately, all forged under the same patterns. This was one of the saddest incidents and forgery in the art industry. According to Times Magazine in the 1990s, the total amount of artworks painted by Baptiste equal to 8000 among which half of these are found in the US.
The Great Art Robbery by Derren Brown
The famous illusionist Derren Brown was caught in the forgery where he professionally trained four individuals to forge a popular painting from the famous, London Art Gallery. This was a show called The Great Art Robbery where Brown bets art collector Massow of the painting whether it will be stolen or not. And to everyone’s surprise, the painting was stolen from the London Art Gallery Exhibition in front of the public, all because of the help of illusion stole not one, but two valuable paintings from the art gallery. You can pretty much relate the scenario with the movie ‘Now You See Me’, where illusionists end up robbing the bank, instead of the paintings which are the case here.
