In the world of contemporary art, the question of authenticity is becoming more vital with each passing year. Works of contemporary sculpture, experimental photography, or interdisciplinary practice rarely remain in one place. They circulate through collections, resurface in exhibitions, and at times reach the international auction market. For collectors, curators, and scholars, reliable provenance and clear authorship are essential. Without them, the cultural and personal value of a work can fade. With them, an artwork retains both its story and its rightful place in the Berlin art scene and beyond.
As a sculptor and interdisciplinary artist working for over two decades, I have seen how creative concepts spread across borders and platforms. At times, my own ideas have been adopted too closely by epigones. Influence and inspiration are natural parts of culture, but originality deserves to be protected. For this reason, I am now offering certificates of authenticity for my earlier works. This step supports collectors who have invested in my journey while ensuring that each piece is recognized as part of a lasting artistic legacy.
Why a Certificate of Authenticity Matters
A certificate of authenticity is not just a piece of documentation. It is a signed and dated confirmation that directly connects a work to its creator. In practical terms, it gives collectors confidence, allows curators to include works in institutional exhibitions, and helps auction houses verify authorship for future sales. In a private collection, it provides heirs with a clear record of ownership and secures value for generations.
Beyond its role in the market, a certificate also preserves cultural memory. Every sculpture, drawing, or immersive photographic piece is a message to the future. Proper attribution ensures that this message will not be lost or confused. Without such confirmation, a work may risk slipping into anonymity. With it, the piece becomes a traceable part of a broader narrative, allowing it to be studied, exhibited, and appreciated as a contribution to contemporary art history.
To thank those who have supported my work, I am offering the first ten certificates of authenticity without charge, apart from shipping costs. Each will be printed on archival-quality paper, signed, and dated personally by me.
How to Request a Certificate
Collectors of my works are warmly invited to contact me. The process is straightforward:
-
Make a clear photograph of the artwork you own
- Get in touch via contact form
- After verification, a printed certificate will be prepared and mailed directly.
This process not only strengthens the value of each individual work but also ensures that my body of work remains coherent and protected against misattribution. It contributes to the larger effort of art authentication and builds a reliable foundation for future research, exhibitions, and sales.
If you own one of my sculptures or photo-theater pieces and would like to secure its place within my artistic archive, please get in touch through the contact form or email provided. Together we can preserve the authenticity of these works, protect their provenance, and maintain a legacy that will remain visible in the history of contemporary art.
