| Definition | Authenticity [...] means an obligation for the museum or custodian to faithfully realise those aspects of the work which are important to its meaning. In the fullest sense this includes historical accuracy, although in a fine art context aesthetic concerns will take priority over the historical. It is possible for two performances or installations of a work to differ but both be authentic. Only if a composer's or artist's instructions determined every aspect of an installation would there be only one possible way in which an authentic performance or installation could be rendered. http://www.tate.org.uk/research/tateresearch/tatepapers/06autumn/laurenson.htm#is6noteref4 |
