National Fine Arts Title Registry
Document the authenticity of your work. Everything of value we own is registered in some way, stocks, bonds, cars, boats, software, etc. These registrations are to establish ownership.
Along with stocks and bonds original works of art are recognized as valuable assets. Yet unlike stocks and bonds they do not have a record of ownership. Often there is not a paper trail transferring ownership on a work of art from one person to the next. A transfer of title or ownership is commonplace for other valuables like a car title. However, there has been no such thing in the world of art. An individual artist may write his own “letter of authenticity” but there is no real “ownership title registration.”
With the common use of the Internet and NFATR the registration of works of art becomes simple, easily available and desirable. National Fine Arts Title Registration was established to track, organize and document works of art no matter what the value or origin.
Each work of art or numbered print that is registered with National Fine Arts Title Registry will receive a registration number unique to that work of art, establishing ownership and value. When that work is sold to another, a transfer of title can take place and the buyer is registered as the new owner of the registered work of art. Buy Now for only $10.00
