Certificate of Authenticity (COA)

In addition to being a legal requirement in certain states, many artists and galleries believe that a certificate of authenticity enhances the value of a print by certifying its provenance and providing detailed information about the artwork and edition. Our certificate includes essential details such as the total number of prints in the edition, the specific number of the print purchased by the buyer, the type of paper used for printing, the original medium of the artwork, and the signatures of both the artist and printer. Furthermore, it includes the title of the piece, a description, and the date of printing.

Please note that some states mandate certificates of authenticity to be presented during the sale of fine art. While Connecticut does not currently have this requirement, New York does. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with your state's legal obligations and ensure compliance with any specific language required in your certificates. At Still River Editions, we provide Certificates of Authenticity upon request, and there is no additional charge.
