Provenance Methodology

01
Authentication

Every work is authenticated by Arnold Szmerling in person. The original capture file, development notes, and session context are archived alongside the physical print.

02
Limited Edition

Every work in this registry is part of a strictly limited edition. Once a work is registered, the edition is permanently closed. The registry entry serves as the digital certificate of authority for each manifestation.

03
Permanent Record

Each entry carries a permanent SKU, date of registration, and acquisition history. Subsequent owners may request registry transfer upon verified acquisition.

04
Transfer & Lineage

Provenance follows the object. When a work changes hands, the registry is updated to reflect lineage — preserving the full chain of custody for secondary market confidence.

03

Certificate of Authenticity

Every acquisition from the Masterworks Registry is accompanied by two original hand-signed documents, mailed separately from the artwork for security and archival safety.

  • Signed COA by Arnold Szmerling at time of production
  • Registry SKU printed and embossed — cross-references this ledger
  • Full capture metadata: camera, date, location, session context
  • Print specification: substrate, process, dimension, pigment set
  • Transferable on verified secondary acquisition — registry updated
  • Archival document printed on 300gsm cotton rag — museum grade
