Authentication Program
A clear, three-phase path from “I think I have a Verdult” to a certified, registered, blockchain-recorded piece — and a next step for what to do with it afterward.
How it works
Phase I — Initial Estate Review. Submit photos and any provenance you have. We review it against the Estate record and send you a written preliminary determination — whether the piece is a strong candidate to proceed to formal certification. Fee: $198, nonrefundable.
Phase II — Formal Estate Authentication & Certification. If Phase I supports moving forward, Phase II produces your Certificate of Authenticity, a documented provenance file, an Estate Authentication & Certification Record, an Estate-supported value opinion, and a Verisart blockchain registration. Your piece is also added to the public Provenance Registry.
Phase III — Sale, consignment & print licensing. Once certified, two optional paths: sale or consignment support through the Estate's network on a commission basis, or licensing prints of your own certified original with a revenue share back to you as the owner. Available on request after certification.
