We have a question for certification of any fine arts
this is our response:
We give only invoices for any item sold by us on the Bidorbuy auction. We do not issue any certificate; similar to other established Fine Auction Houses in South Africa. In future, if you want to sell paintings through an established Fine Art Auction House, they would have their own specialists who establish the authenticity of the art and dont consider certificates from unknown and unqualified sources. We have seen number of paintings with different certification which we simply refuse to accept for sale, reason being that they dont meet our view of this artist in our opinion. We believe that, to avoid making wrong choice in purchasing any artist art works, it is necessary to have any other of fine art source, like books, internet, or information concern particular artist to visit a library these sources give you a much clearer idea as to the appearances of the paintings of any artist. You thus have to decide yourself. You definitely shouldnt believe that any certificate guarantees you the validity of everything it purports to - but that is your choice. We believe that proper certification of fine art is essential, and that it will validate the product over and above any other product and requires a totally different approach. The person responsible has to be highly qualified, with a minimum academic education and proof of any qualification(s). He should be recognized by the art world market, have lot of experience in this field (including in-depth knowledge of particular artists and their techniques, knowledge of the art of analysis and methods as well as their originality). He should also be recognized by the leading Auction Houses on the market. The assessment of fine art is a time-consuming and expensive process, without even mentioning the fee of such an expert. For this reason, only the big Auction Houses can afford this practice and only when the painting is expensive thus worthwhile
