Rothko's Untitled. I don't like abstract expressionism but he's probably the technical height of it from how much work actually went into that.

The incident like twenty years ago where someone discovered a "lost" Pollock painting and there were heated arguments between historians over whether it was a fake was so funny to me. I don't have any background in art history myself so take this with a grain of salt, but when I looked at it I saw a bunch of paint splotches, which leads me to believe it was authentic.
yeah i have no idea how you could "verify" an unprovenanced pollock
You can do analysis of the materials and the techniques and try to pinpoint it on the timeline or his career. From what I gather, it’s a subjective practice which uses objective instruments.
