For Artists
Certificate of Authenticity
Generated from your archive. Tied to the work's own record.
Every work deserves a record.
A certificate of authenticity is not a formality. It is the document that ties a work to its maker, records its origin, and travels with it into every future. A sale, a donation, an estate. The certificate is what makes the provenance real.
StudioNXT generates certificates directly from your archive. The information comes from the work's own record, so there is nothing to retype and nothing that can be transcribed incorrectly.
What a StudioNXT certificate contains.
Artwork details
Title, year, medium, dimensions, materials, and edition information, pulled directly from the artwork record in your archive.
Artist identity
Your name as it appears in your archive, with your account as the verified source of the certificate.
Classification and edition
Whether the work is unique, a limited edition, or an open edition. Edition number, total edition size, and artist proof count where applicable.
Artwork image
The primary image from your archive, reproduced on the certificate so the work is visually identified, not just described.
Certificate number
A unique reference number that identifies this certificate and links it permanently to the work's record in your archive.
Date of issue
The date the certificate was generated, forming part of the work's documented provenance.
How to create one.
Open the Templates section of your StudioNXT account. Select Certificate of Authenticity. Choose the work from your archive. The certificate is generated from the record you have already built.
Review it before sending. Every field can be adjusted if the artwork record needs updating. Once you are satisfied, the certificate can be downloaded or sent directly to a collector from inside the platform.
Tracking status.
Every certificate has a status: draft, sent, accepted, or declined. You can see at a glance which works have issued certificates and where they stand. The full history stays in your account for as long as the archive exists.
Why it matters.
Certificates issued from a consistent, dated archive are more credible than certificates issued from memory. The record behind the certificate, the full artwork metadata, the image, the valuation history, is what gives the document its weight.
For collectors, it is the assurance they need. For institutions, it is the documentation they require. For you, it is the provenance you are building while the work is still in your hands.
