Certificate of Authenticity:
The Certificate of Authenticity gives authentic artists and collectors the
opportunity to distinguish their work from reproductions which some dealers
would like to pass off as "originals." By offering the extensive information
of the Certificate artists can not only guarantee the authenticity of their
work, but also educate their buyers as to just exactly what they are
spending their money on.
Our Certificate of Authenticity is an additional value added
to our paintings as it explains to the client the various factors which
intervene in its production. With the
COA, Artfro confidently guarantees the quality of our paintings. We stand
behind every item that we sell and deliver. Each purchase from Artfro.com is
delivered with our Certificate of Authenticity to guarantee that the
originality of your paintings is equal to what was promised on our web
site and promotional materials.

Provenance records:
The provenance, or history of ownership, of our paintings is listed in
chronological order, that is, starting with the first owner and moving
forward in time. Each entry in that provenance is in the following format:
The center column shows the name and location of the owner or seller of the
work. "Anonymous collection" and "Anonymous sale" can mean one of two
things: 1) we do not know the name of the owner or seller of that work, or
2) we know the name of the owner or seller, but he/she made it a condition
of sale that his/her identity not be revealed. Locations are in the language
of that place; for instance, Köln, Deutschland is used rather than Cologne,
Germany.
Notes to the right of and below each entry (when present) provide additional
data on the painting, owner, transaction, or the source of our information. |
