What is studio authentication? Is it emails/certificate or similar? I emailed them and they did not respond to this question. In this instance it means they were authenticated by the studio for Christies. Youll have to wait to hear from the studio about anything more, these were mine, and i can only confirm what happened with these ones. |

Just wondering if there is a physical manifestation of “authentication” that can be possessed by an owner, or if that value is kept by specific auction houses.

Obviously of interest for those in the market for these pieces. No where does Christie’s say anything about authentication or providing any proof or supporting documentation. So should we assume it was a communication between the studio and Christie’s that is not explicitly recorded anywhere, but rather implicit in the assumption that Christie’s only sells works that it can “authenticate”? Just wondering if there is a physical manifestation of “authentication” that can be possessed by an owner, or if that value is kept by specific auction houses. |

I can only answer for what happened with my pieces though. As i already mentioned in my post. Anything else is me guessing, i leave that to others on here. |

Seeing as its an avalanche of sales on here lately I think it would be nice if this could be addressed as there seems to be a few sales of these with some blatantly obvious fakes. Not naming names and by no means including these in that category. Purely acquisitive. Thanking you.

Just wondering if there is a physical manifestation of “authentication” that can be possessed by an owner, or if that value is kept by specific auction houses. Exactly. Good question cemltz and one Ive been trying to find the answer to for quite some time but to no avail. Height, deaf ears etc. Seeing as its an avalanche of sales on here lately I think it would be nice if this could be addressed as there seems to be a few sales of these with some blatantly obvious fakes.

When you say an avalanche, do you mean the one other legit set that turned up here? Cos ive only seen one other here. Seen a few "sets" of 5, but that doesnt mean they were gifted sets from the artist.
Im pretty sure if you were actually trying to buy a legit gift set, you would be able to work it out via the seller.

Granted there are legitimate cobbled together full sets, perhaps in not as good a condition, due to the circumstances but still a full set of Stik prints/posters that are signed by the artist himself.
So, I suppose what I am asking is if these came with anything additional to set them apart or is it just a paper trail, confirmation from artist to said vendor etc.
Sorry, by Avalanche I meant sales in general.
Thanks.

But I was then tasked with trying to work out what the extra provenance was exactly and if it was worth the premium. Questionable or fully transparent, hassle free trail of comms. etc as I know he can be a little hit and miss at times.

Most of the post doesnt seem to add up. Unless your trying to auth a random set.
Anyhow, too little info and not adding up to me. Christies auth'd mine, without issues, or they wouldnt have taken them. Maybe wait till the next set they have, to alleviate any doubt.

Cant imagine why they would be tasking you to find out, and that alone should also be a pretty solid red flag to anyone! Most of the post doesnt seem to add up.

What about Forum auctions? They have been selling some -- are they going to be reliable in terms of provenance? They are unlikely to be gift sets from the artist. As for their prov, probably best to ask them what they have. |
