What is a Certificate of Authority?


Sometimes the art world has certain terms which may not be obvious to the general public, one such term is "Certificate of Authority", so here's a definition to help clarify things:

A Certificate of Authority is a statement of authenticity of a Fine Art Limited Edition reproduction that states the title of the work, the prints number within the edition, the number of artist's proofs and the release date. It guarantees that the edition is limited and that the image will not be published again in the same form. Each Fine Art Limited Edition that The Art of BAS produces comes with this Certificate personally signed and numbered by the artist.
