Absent compelling forensic evidence like a fingerprint, the authentication process becomes a bit murkier. In the past, pieces of art have been certified through a combination of factors, including brushstroke patterns, analysis of the artist's signature, dating of the pigments or canvas used or even the instinctive (but subjective) opinion of academics who have extensively studied an artist's portfolio.

The trick was to be sympathetic to all the arguments and to work at understanding their arguments. Then they open up to you. Will they compromise? What is it that they really need? You'd know Gerry Adams needed four or five things but he'd come in and give you 45. If you knew where their pressures were, who was undermining them, then you were in a position to get the other side to say, 'What about...
