  • Is a certificate of authenticity provided?
    All artworks for sale on the collection – gallery of digital art come with a certificate of authenticity that is signed by the artist. Furthermore, all editions (photographs, prints etc.) are numbered and signed by the artist.

  • Is framing available for all works?
    You can see if the framing of a work is available, when you click on the information of the artwork and can choose between buying solely the print or the print in a frame. By the way, the information regarding the frame can also be seen as a recommendation of the artist, in case you decide not to buy the artwork framed.
  • Who is responsible for the cost of framing?
    When the artwork is already framed, then the frame is a part of the work and therefore included in the price.
  • How do I properly treat the artwork?
    If you have bought a digital photography or digital drawing, you will find gloves within your delivered package. Please make sure to always wear them, when handling the artwork.

Accordingly, pictures, printed matter, photographs and frames are not suitable for outdoor use, basements, bathrooms and kitchens. Laminations with UV protective film or acrylic glass and wooden frames are very sensitive to scratches and stains and may therefore also only be handled with gloves or comparable protection.
