Authentication, Attribution and the Art Market: Understanding Issues of Art Attribution in Contemporary Indonesia
Authentication, Attribution and the Art Market: Understanding Issues of Art Attribution in Contemporary Indonesia Eliza O’Donnell, University of Melbourne, Australia Nicole Tse, University of Melbourne, Australia The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2018 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The widespread circulation of paintings lacking a secure provenance within the Indonesian art market is an increasingly prevalent issue that questions trust, damages reputations and collective cultural narratives. In the long-term, this may impact on the credibility of artists, their work and the international art market. Under the current Indonesian copyright laws, replicating a painting is not considered a crime of art forgery, rather a crime of autograph forgery, a loophole that has allowed the practice of forgery to grow. Despite widespread claims of problematic paintings appearing in cultural collections over recent years, there has been little scholarly research to map the scope of counterfeit painting circulation within the market. Building on this research gap and the themes of the conference, this paper will provide a current understanding of art fraud in Indonesia based on research undertaken on the Authentication, Attribution and the Art Market in Indonesia: Understanding issues of art attribution in contemporary Indonesia. This research is interdisciplinary in its scope and is grounded in the art historical, socio-political and socio-economic context of cultural and artistic production in Indonesia, from the early twentieth century to the contemporary art world of today. By locating the study within a regionally relevant framework, this paper aims to provide a current understanding of issues of authenticity in Indonesia and is a targeted response to the need for a materials- evidence based framework for the research, identification and documentation of questionable paintings, their production and circulation in the region.

A Case Study of Contemporary Art Practice in Indonesia
Market Forces: A Case Study of Contemporary Art Practice in Indonesia by Yuliana Kusumastuti Hons (Faculty of Languages and Arts Education), IKIP N Semarang (now Semarang State University), Indonesia A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Law, Business and Arts Charles Darwin University November 2006 Declaration “I hereby declare that the work here in, now submitted as a thesis for the degree of Master by research of the Charles Darwin University, is the result of my own investigations, and all references to ideas and work of other researchers have been specifically acknowledged. I hereby certify that the work embodied in this thesis has not already been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not being currently submitted in candidature for any other degree.” Yuliana Kusumastuti November 2006 ii Abstract This study focuses on the development of the visual art market that emerged concurrently with the new nation state of Indonesia. The emergence of former colonies to independent nation states is generally marked by cataclysmic events and Indonesia is no exception to this rule. From an Indonesian perspective there is general agreement that this period of dramatic change from 1945 to the present can be divided into three periods. First, the Old Order of Sukarno (1945- 1966). Second, the New Order of Suharto (1966-1998). Third, the Reformation that covers the economic crisis of 1998 and the political changes up to the current period. This thesis describes the role of the individuals and institutions that have shaped the Indonesian art market within each period: art schools, galleries and museums, auction houses, collectors, kolekdol (art dealers), critics, curators and artists.

VISUAL ART in INDONESIA Introduction
MMariannaarianna LisLis Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw Polish Institute of World Art Studies VISUAL ART IN INDONESIA Introduction he influence of the colonisers and the West on the emergence and develop- ment of modern Indonesian art is today still the subject of discussion among Tlocal historians and critics. Sanento Yuliman, the painter and art critic (1941 – 1992), often emphasised in his works that Indonesian painting was born from the encounter and intercultural relations between Indonesia and Europe. European painting was brought to Nusantara together with the arrival of Dutch colonisers in the early seventeenth century. Among the employees of the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie – VOC) were also painters who were primarily engaged in transferring landscapes and scenes of everyday life to canvas. Their paintings, offered mainly up as gifts to the local rulers, were probably the first examples of European painting to reach Indonesia1). A similar position is taken by another critic Kusnadi (1921 – 1997), who emphasis that the encounter of local art with the art of colonisers was not a collision of two attitudes, but rather resembled the slow process of assimilation lasting from the arrival of the Dutch until the independence of Indonesia in 19452). The most important painter of this period and the first modern painter was Raden Saleh, who lived in the years 1807 (1811) – 1880. Coming from a noble Javanese family, in his childhood he began to study painting under the guidance of the Belgian teacher Antoine Auguste Joseph Payen (1792 – 1853). He not only taught him the use of Western painting techniques such as, among others, the use of oil paints, but also took him on a tour of Java, dur- 1) Sanento Yuliman (2001: 55 – 57).
