About Us

,Jeffrey Taylor is an internationally recognized expert on the art market and its problems. He has frequently spoken and published on the problem of art forgery. He has lectured at INTERPOL headquarters in Lyon, France, and his press appearances include: The Wall Street Journal, 60 Minutes, New York Times, CBC Radio, The Village Voice, FoxCT, CoDesign, Artsy, ArtGuide East, and The Conversation. He has worked on forgery and anti-fraud investigations with Homeland Security and eBay. He has over 20 years experience in the international art market and teaches the subject, formerly as an Assistant Professor of Arts Management at the State University of New York (SUNY), Purchase College, and as the Program Director of the Master in Gallery  & Museum Management (MGMM) at Western Colorado University. 

Jeffrey Taylor traveled to Eastern Europe in 1990 to be part of the first Peace Corps contingent in Hungary, in fact the first to ever serve in Europe. In 1996 he founded his business to provide fine art shipping services to the growing art market in Budapest. His clients, however, needed more than just transportation services: they needed an expert to guide them through the pitfalls and dangers of the highly unregulated international art market. Since then Taylor Art Services has been serving the needs of Collectors and the Trade. He holds Hungarian state appraisers licenses in Antique Furniture and Oriental Carpets. In 2016 Taylor and his business partner Thiago Piwowarcyzk merged their scientific activities to form New York Art Forensics with a laboratory located in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn and also a research facility located at the criminal forensics department of Pace University in Manhattan.
