Authentication Procedure
As a general rule, the art work should be brought to the gallery in person. We accept delivery for those who live far away or cannot bring the artwork in person, however, the Foundation will not be held responsible for any accidents. Moreover, the client must pay for all related shipping costs.

A claim check will be issued once we receive the artwork, and you will be asked to pay the authentication fee.
We will inform you of the appraisal results by phone or e-mail. If the artwork is deemed authentic, a certificate of authentication will be issued along with the return of your artwork. At this time, you will be asked to pay the certificate  issuance fee, return the claim check and sign a receipt of delivery.

If you wish to pay the authentication fee and certificate fee via wire or bank transfer, we will send you the bank details necessary for payment.
