Get matched
Verified partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
Start where quality is affordable: limited-edition prints, works on paper, and emerging artists at open studios and degree shows. Buy what you'd want to live with, keep every receipt and certificate, and let the collection develop a point of view over time.
Provenance is the documented ownership history of a work — receipts, exhibition records, gallery labels, correspondence. It supports authenticity, affects value, and matters legally; gaps in provenance are one of the biggest red flags in any purchase.
For each work record: artist, title, date, medium, dimensions, condition, purchase details, and photographs — plus certificates and correspondence. A simple spreadsheet with an image folder beats a perfect system you never maintain, and it's exactly what insurers and appraisers ask for.
