Some helpful facts you should know when you purchase your art work

Subject: Checklist of documentations you need from the art gallery

Did you just buy another artwork? Congratulations – you have grown your collection. But before you hang that painting or display that sculpture, you should first make sure that you have all the documents that prove that you (a) own that artwork and that (b) it is authentic. Having all the proofs needed will make it easier for you to sell that piece in the future, when its value has increased. Here are the documents you should ask from the gallery:

• Bill of Sale
• Letter of Authenticity
• Artist’s Biographical Information
• Artist’s Statement/Information (attach it on the back of the piece)

It would also be great if you could ask the gallery for the following:

• Proof of type of artwork (Is it original? A limited edition? Is it a reproduction))
• Care and Handling Instructions
• Mailing List

These are the first steps you take when you start to build your collection
