Comment vérifier l’authenticité d’une œuvre ?

Chaque œuvre proposée par Inma est accompagnée de son certificat d’authenticité, délivré par le centre d’art de l’artiste, et de sa documentation : photos de l’artiste au travail, récit (Dreaming) représenté, dimensions et support. Nous expliquons ce que doit contenir un certificat fiable dans notre guide des certificats d’authenticité, et les signaux d’alerte à connaître dans les 12 signes d’une fausse peinture aborigène.

D’où viennent les œuvres ?

Exclusivement de centres d’art communautaires reconnus, gérés par les communautés aborigènes elles-mêmes et signataires de l’Indigenous Art Code, le code de conduite qui encadre les relations équitables avec les artistes. Nous n’achetons jamais à des intermédiaires non identifiés.
