Certificates of Authenticity: was Piezo exhibition in Barcelona!
2001-10-15 by Steadman Uhlich
Julian, How about posting the text from the COA? Like it or not, a COA is required in certain parts of the world (California) for limited edition prints. This was discussed before in another thread. But posting a well worded COA may help someone in the future. Others out there...post one in response to this thread and we can all see the current state of "veracity" out in the world at large. Martin: perhaps another good item or two for your forum's files. Steadman

Austin,
I didn't take it that you were! COAs are like 'Artists Statements', yet
something else that some people expect that almost seems to distance them
from the photo. My COA is in English - many people here would not understand
it even!
