Certificators

An Art Certificator is the trusted “verification layer” between the physical artwork and a reliable, reusable certification record, helping buyers, collectors, galleries, and institutions reduce uncertainty and fraud.

Typically, an Art Certificator may:

Physically inspect the work (materials, technique, condition, signatures, labels, marks)
Validate authorship and authenticity indicators (artist confirmation, studio records, catalog references, expert opinion)
Review provenance and supporting documents (invoices, exhibition history, prior certificates, restoration reports, shipping/customs papers)
Document the object (high-quality photos, measurements, distinguishing features; sometimes technical tests or 3D scans)
Create a structured certification report that can be referenced later for sales, insurance, loans, or disputes
Apply secure verification links (e.g., QR/NFC/holographic identifiers) to connect the physical work to its digital record

Certificators use ArtAttest to make their work more credible, durable, and efficient. And, a limited number of them protect the integrity of the ecosystem.

An Art Certificator should use ArtAttest to:

Turn expertise into reusable, verifiable evidence: your inspections and reports become structured records with immutable timestamps and legally verifiable certificates—useful for sales, loans, insurance, and disputes.
Higher credibility at the point of decision: galleries and collectors can verify your certification instantly via QR/NFC access to a controlled digital record, reducing back-and-forth and “PDF chaos.”
Better risk handling: your work can be linked to critical events (loss, theft, dispute, claim), helping the market react faster and more transparently.

Clear accountability and attribution: KYC-backed roles show who certified what and when, protecting your reputation and reducing the risk of impersonation or forged certificates.
Operational efficiency: standardized templates, secure document linking, and consistent metadata make certifications faster to produce and easier to audit.
Global interoperability: your certifications remain accessible and verifiable across borders and over time, even as owners, platforms, or locations change.

Only a few Certificators per country

Lutinx selects a small number of certificators due to:

Quality control and consistent standards: a smaller network is easier to train, audit, and keep aligned on methodology, evidence thresholds, and reporting formats.
Trust and reputational protection: certification only works if the market believes in it; limiting access helps prevent low-quality reports, conflicts of interest, and “certificate inflation.”
Clear accountability: with fewer certificators, it’s easier to trace responsibility, investigate issues, and manage disputes or complaints.
Avoid market confusion: too many “authorized experts” can dilute authority and create inconsistent outcomes; a curated list reduces noise.
Country-level coverage and specialization: selecting a few allows ArtAttest to choose professionals with the right mix of expertise (periods, media, regions) and reliable capacity, rather than accepting everyone.
Compliance and governance: controlled onboarding (including identity verification and rules for independence) supports a sustainable framework that regulators, insurers, and institutions can rely on.
