- Primary Sales (Primary market): Upon a successful primary sale, @ESRAC will issue a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) to the new owner of the artwork. The artwork will be listed in our catalog of artworks with the status “Sold”. The Owner’s Certificate Reference code will be visible in the listing of the artwork to guarantee the authenticity of ownership.

- Private Collection: Artwork is in the secondary market. The current owner does not wish to sell the artwork. By default, last transaction Price and Owner’s Certificate Reference code are listed. The owner may request us to change the status from “Sold” to “Private Collection”. Note that some artworks in the secondary market may have been donated by the artist and therefore do not have transaction price yet.

- Provenance: The listing of the actual Owner’s Certificate Reference code in our catalog guarantees the authenticity of the Certificate of Authenticity.

- Certification: Upon a successful secondary sale by the current owner with a new buyer and payment of the applicable fees, @ESRAC will void the previous Certificate of Authenticity and issue a new, updated Certificate to the new owner. Only artworks recorded in our database with an active certificate are recognized as ‘Platform Validated’.
- Pricing listing:
- In the primary market, pricing is defined by the artist when the artwork is available for sale.
