Fondazione Baruchello is the only institution in charge and authorized to issue the Certificate of Authenticity of the works of art by Gianfranco Baruchello.
To request the examination of a work by the Scientific Committee of the Foundation’s Archive, a specific procedure must be followed. The opinion issued by the Archive will be communicated in the form of a certificate.
The Authentication procedure has a cost and observes a variable fee list depending on the type of artwork (see attachment 3). The payment is considered as a lump sum fee for the expenses and activities involved in the procedure.
In order to start the Authentication procedure, please follow these guidelines and send the documentation to the Fondazione Baruchello’s certified e-mail address – fondazionebaruchello@pec.it – for an initial examination:
1. Fill the application form (attachment 1).
2. Provide the following photographic documentation via WeTransfer to the e-mail address catalogo.baruchello@gmail.com :

3. Provide a copy of documents and publications in which the artwork is mentioned or reproduced.
4. Sign personal data consent form (attachment 2).
