CERTIFIED WORK. My work is certified now. Anyone who owns one of my paintings has a certified piece of art. To begin with, there
is tremendous abuse in the "certificate of authenticity" or COA
business, especially at online auctions, particularly on eBay.
Unless a certificate of authenticity originates from and is signed by
either the artist, the publisher of the art (in the case of limited
editions), a confirmed dealer or agent of the artist (not a third party
or reseller), or an acknowledged expert on the artist, that certificate
is pretty much meaningless. A legitimate COA must contain specific
details about the art such as when and how it was produced, the names
of people or companies involved in it's production, the art's exact
title, dimensions, and the names of reference books or similar
resources that contain either specific or related information about
either that work of art or the artist. It should also state the
qualifications AND FULL CONTACT INFORMATION of the individual or entity
that authored the certificate, and include his or her complete and
current contact information.
2009..At the end of 2008 and now into 2009 I have discovered ATC's and ACEO'S both tiny art forms that have me
excited and amused too. These paintings are all 2.5x3.5, very small. They are all original art and are both sold and traded amongst collectors and other artists. It is a challenge to work in such a small format. It does make fine art affordable to anyone which is kind of nice. Many collect whole groups of paintings. See my latest you tube video featuring some of these tiny jewels.
