AS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT NEITHER BUYS, SELLS, NOR APPRAISES ARTWORKS FOR MONETARY VALUE, IFAR HAS NO VESTED INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME OF ITS RESEARCH. THE SERVICE IS AVAILABLE TO MUSEUMS, OTHER INSTITUTIONS, GALLERIES, AND INDIVIDUALS, BUT THEY MUST BE THE OWNERS OF THE ARTWORKS OR THEIR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES. IFAR CONDUCTS PROVENANCE AND OTHER RESEARCH ON ARTWORKS, AND THEY ARE ALSO EXAMINED BY SPECIALISTS. IF WARRANTED, SCIENTIFIC TESTS ARE ALSO PERFORMED. AT THE END OF ITS RESEARCH, IFAR ISSUES A WRITTEN REPORT FOR THE OWNER DETAILING ITS FINDINGS. IFAR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO PUBLISH ITS RESEARCH, AND OVER THE YEARS, HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPOSING NUMEROUS ART FRAUD SCAMS AND DISCOVERING MANY PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN ARTWORKS. 132534 62300 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, LECTURES AND CONFERENCESSINCE THE EARLY 1980S, IFAR HAS OFFERED IFAR EVENINGS - A SERIES OF LECTURES AND PANELS FEATURING DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS ON TOPICS RELATED TO IFAR'S AREAS OF INTEREST AND OTHER CURRENT ISSUES IN THE ART WORLD.
