Foundation refused COA, but is it real or fake
Many serious collectors are holding masterworks that are 100% authentic, yet they are un-sellable because a major foundation refused authentication. Why? Often, it’s not about the art; it’s about liability and legal bureaucracy at the foundation level. Instead of a COA, they offer you an “insertion in the catalogue raisonné.” We are changing that. We specialize in the difficult 5% of submissions—the masterpieces that require forensic provenance research, stylistic analysis, and absolute discretion to prove what the bureaucracies are afraid to confirm. We facilitate private sales (which is where the real market moves) by providing independent, bulletproof expertise for works by Monet, Rembrandt, Picasso, and more. Recent private valuations for works we've reviewed range from $15M to $56M. Don’t let a foundation's policy destroy your asset’s value. Experience you cannot Google. Discreet.
