When I paint something and post it online, I post it to my blog, on facebook, on daily paintworks and on instagram. I was wondering, if you are selling online, is there really is any point to them? However I have since been thinking about it. I just wanted to revive this topic because I have had some thoughts about it.Īfter reading this thread some time ago, I went away and designed a ‘certificate of authenticity’. I like the idea of attaching it to the stretcher bars or taping it to the back, if the painting is big enough for that.Įxcellent question Paul ! Hope this helps someone. However, the article does not explain if you attach it to the back or not.
But I never thought of doing it for my own artwork!Ī COA is an excellent idea and I am most certainly going to make up them up for my artwork from now on. I do think collectors are happy with the COA that comes with their purse and I think they have bought purses from me for just that reason. She was a well known author and historian of fine antique purses. I actually have been making these up for collectors of antique purses from my mother’s purse collection I have for sale. They mention a COA in an article about documenting your art sale.
It is called “Advice from NY Art Experts”. I was searching for something else on the internet and came across this great website: There are many really good articles with excellent advice for artists.
