Preserving Your Certificate of Authenticity
Your Original comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) to verify its originality and limited status. To ensure the long-term credibility and value of your artwork, it’s essential to properly preserve this certificate alongside your print.
Why It Matters
The COA serves as official documentation that your artwork is the artist's original. Keeping it intact and in good condition helps maintain the artwork’s value for future collectors, galleries, and appraisers.
Best Practices for Preservation
- Store Together: Keep the COA in the same location as the original but in a separate protective sleeve to prevent damage.
- Avoid Direct Contact: Use acid-free, archival-quality folders or sleeves to prevent paper deterioration.
- Document Ownership: If you frame or store the original separately, take a digital scan or high-quality photo of the COA as a backup.
- Frame with Care: If you display the COA, use a UV-protected, acid-free frame to prevent fading over time.
- Secure Storage: Place the COA separately in a fireproof or waterproof document holder for added protection.
By safeguarding your Certificate of Authenticity, you preserve your art work's historical and artistic integrity, ensuring its lasting significance for future generations.
