CERTIFICATE (COA)

 

What is a Certificate of Authenticity?

A traditional Certificate of Authenticity accompanies every limited edition art poster. It is a method of authentication, tracing the creation of a work, and proof of legitimacy intended to provide certainty regarding the quality, provenance, and proof of authorship.

 

Do all limited edition art posters come with a certificate of authenticity?

Yes, we issue certificates of authenticity separately from the physical artwork, but they accompany the work after it has been certified, signed, and packaged. Everything is shipped with the artwork. Upon reception, we advise you, in order not to lose the certificate, to place it behind the framing.

 

Why You Need to Keep the Certificate of Authenticity for Artwork?

A Certificate proves the relative value of the work should it be sold later on, particularly to authenticate the provenance of the piece in the art market. Each certificate of authenticity can also act as a receipt and record of sale for you and the buyer. This can be especially necessary for establishing solid business practices and sales. Plus, certificates of authenticity can actually make artworks easier to sell, especially in auction or gallery settings, as they confer a level of confidence.

Additionally, serious art collectors will mandatorily require a certificate of authenticity in order to sell or buy the work because it is the most highly regarded and accepted way to verify an artwork as proof of the origin of the piece. POSTER ARCHETYPE INC. has its own record-keeping. This is crucial in a market where forgeries and reproductions can significantly devalue artwork. The primary role is to establish Provenance, Authenticity, and authority that the art poster is genuine and was created by the named studio and artist, which is vital for determining the artwork's value, legitimacy, and security in artwork transactions. COAs carry Legal Standing, Issuer Reliability, and Protection Against Fraud.
