Certificates of Authenticity show collectors/buyers that the work purchased is authentic and valuable.
A valid certificate, created for each product produced, will assure you this is an authorized and quality piece produced by a bonified production partner of Bill Swartwout Photography/US Pictures. This will give you reassurance that the piece you receive is not from some bogus Internet “scraper” or copyright-theft website.
Each certificate of authenticity is completed by hand & identified by a unique traceable number with an hologram. The COA will be inserted at the back of your artwork or within your package if you order a paper print.
These are currently offered only through my Gallery Store at Pictorem. My Fine Art America Gallery Store is, of course, also authorized to produce my photographs on their wall art and decor products but they do not offer a Certificate of authenticity.
