Certificates of Authenticity

Certificates of Authenticity (COA)

A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is the essential document required for selling, insuring, appraising, or donating artwork for tax purposes. It is more than a statement; it is your verified evidence of value and origin.

Backed by Industry-Leading Credentials

The COA issued by Art Experts confirms that your artwork has been thoroughly verified as an original creation by the specified artist.

    Our COA is recognized globally because it is based on the most sought-after credentials in art authentication:

  • Multi-Disciplinary Review: The final judgment is reached by a committee of experts.
  • Scientific and Forensic Rigor: We incorporate advanced scientific analysis, including forensic material testing and cutting-edge AI-powered analysis.
  • Exhaustive Documentary Provenance: We perform deep, international documentary research using our global network of employees to verify the artwork's history and chain of ownership.

How to Obtain Your COA

The authentication process for your artwork is comprehensive and tailored to its unique complexity. Our rigorous approach may include:

  • Physical and Stylistic Inspection by specialized experts.
  • Technical and Comparative Analysis against known authentic works.
  • Documentary Research across global physical and digital archives.
  • Scientific and Forensic Testing of materials and signatures.
