Certificate of Authenticity + Artist's Biography
The Print Art Photography Certificate of Authenticity states the artist, title, printmaker, methods, materials, and expected longevity. This piece of documentation assures you / galleries / potential buyers of the quality and authenticity of the print and insurance companies thereby, of its existence.
The Certificate can be considered an investment, one which in our experience definitely increases the attractiveness of your prints for a potential buyer, making you look more professional and giving your audience the opportunity to get to know you better through the Artist's Biography section.
The top half of the document can be used for biographical information and/or an Artist's Statement. This is where you get to connect with your audience and although we are here to advise, it's important that your personality comes through. If you have a C.V. of art career achievements this is where to let people know, don't be modest! If you are just starting out, it's best to craft a highly personal and passionate statement that will draw people in with the sincerity of your pursuit of your art. If there are stories, anecdotes, etc. attached to the pictures, all the better. Sometimes it's the story that sells the picture!
