The second type of certificate is an artist certificate. An artist certificate certifies that the painting was created by a specific artist.
What is a certificate of authenticity?
Unlike attribution (establishing authorship of a work of art) a certificate of authenticity is issued when no one doubts that this work of art was created by a certain artist, graphic artist or sculptor. Almost all certificates of authenticity are issued by private galleries with the signature of an expert or the gallery owner, in rare cases - they are issued by the authors of the works of art themselves and they themselves sign such a certificate. After all, who, if not the author himself, knows that this work is his authorship.
Often such a certificate is made in English so that it can be used abroad for private sales to foreign collectors, for exhibitions and participation in auctions.
How to get a certificate of authenticity
A certificate of authenticity is a document issued for a work of art and contains all the attributes (identifying parameters):
