art certification

Art certification is an official process that verifies the authenticity and provenance of a piece of artwork. It involves an expert, often a qualified appraiser or a recognized authority, examining the artwork to confirm it is genuine, created by the claimed artist, and not a forgery or copy. The certification provides assurance to buyers, sellers, and collectors about the artwork’s origin and value, often including documentation that details its history, condition, and authenticity. This process helps protect against fraud and facilitates resale or insurance of the piece.
