Every original work leaves the studio with a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. The certificate identifies the work by title, date, materials, dimensions and edition number, and is hand-signed by the artist on archival paper.
The certificate confirms that the work is an original, one-of-a-kind piece; records its provenance from the studio to its first owner; and accompanies the work for any future resale or insurance valuation. Should the certificate ever be lost, the studio maintains a permanent archive and can issue a duplicate on request.
Each work is one-of-a-kind. Inquiries are answered personally, usually within two business days from the Melbourne studio.
