Authenticity & Certificates

“An Artwork is only as Valuable as its ability to be Authenticated.” Simply the Best magazine nailed it when they said, imagine snagging a “Picasso” or a “Warhol” back when prices were still down-to-earth compared to the mind-boggling millions they go for today. Michael’s charitable initiative not only lets you “steal” his jaw-dropping art but also do some good while you’re at it. Think of investing in “a Michael Israel” now as getting in early on the next Picasso or Warhol. Just like those legendary artists, there comes a time when their art skyrockets from modestly priced to worth princely sums.

So, don’t underestimate the power of authenticity in the art world. It’s what unlocks the true potential of your investment. Go for Michael’s art, backed by the ability to prove its authenticity, and join a creative journey that mirrors the rise of art world superstars.

If you were there to witness Michael creating your artwork, you can be confident it’s the real deal. But once the artwork leaves the artist’s hands, not even the artist can guarantee its authenticity without verification. To prove authenticity to potential buyers, insurance companies, or tax authorities who didn’t witness its creation, you might need certified documents like:

– Certificate of Authenticity printed on super-secure paper
– Letter of Provenance (showing the chain of ownership)
– Letter of value considerations
– Official sale/transfer form
– Related images
– Press clippings
– Videos
– Bill of sale
– Related documents

These additional pieces of evidence help establish the artwork’s authenticity and give others confidence in its value.

Anyone can print a piece of paper, like a deed or a certificate. But guess what? If that property deed isn’t officially recorded with the court clerk, it’s as good as worthless. The same goes for a Certificate of Authenticity. If it’s not backed by a credible authority and properly recorded, that certificate might not be worth more than the paper it’s printed on.

If your artwork is registered in our Registry, we are thrilled to offer you our Certified Authenticity Package. This comprehensive package may include some or all of the following:

If you have a Certificate of Registry or a Certificate of Authenticity with a Registration ID, your Artwork is Registered; otherwise, you must purchase a Registry Look Up.

A Certificate of Registry serves as a Certificate of Authenticity by confirming the artwork’s authenticity and stating that supporting data is recorded in the registry. It provides both validation and a reference to the registry for additional information.

Similarly, a Certificate of Authenticity with an artwork registration ID serves the same purpose. It establishes a connection to supporting data or records, strengthening the certificate’s credibility and allowing for validation.

However, a Certificate of Authenticity without an artwork registration ID may not explicitly reference or link to supporting data, relying solely on the issuer’s reputation or expertise for authentication.

If you do not possess a Certificate of Registry for your artwork, there is still a possibility for us to assist you. In the case where your artwork has a Registration ID, typically located on the back, you can avail of our Registry Lookup service. This service allows us to conduct a thorough search in our Registry to determine if your artwork is registered. If we locate your artwork in our Registry, we will gladly provide you with a Certificate of Registry as an official record at no extra cost.

However, if your artwork is not found in our Registry, we will promptly notify you of its status. In such circumstances, we offer an alternative option: an Authentication Review.
