Artwork’s records can be easily lost or misplaced, making it almost impossible to keep track of them.

This happened to Norman Rockwell’s; 20 years ago two of his paintings went lost and were never found again.

Norman Rockwell was one of the most influential figurative artists of America, his work still resonates in current advertisement and contemporary illustration, however, not even the most successful artists are protected from fraud or forgeries.

Thankfully, nowadays, improvements in technology and innovative companies are working towards developing a trustworthy, solid provenance record.

Our aim at Tagsmart is to create a secure art world, our DNA tags allow artists and collectors to protect artworks in seconds, using revolutionary technology such us our revolutionary DNA services and certification services. To make it all more secure, we also issue Certificates of Authenticity that provide accredited ownership history which is linked to a digital provenance record.

We hope Norman’s lost paintings are found and that whoever finds them makes sure to tag them!

In Tagsmart, we offer a simple and secure solution to these problems with the aim of fostering trust and credibility among artists, galleries, and collectors.

It’s FREE to join and use Tagsmart and upload your artworks to our secure digital platform, enabling you to easily manage your portfolio.

Artist and curators can now beneficiate from certified, more trustful art transactions. This is done through our Certificates of Authenticity (Certificates cost £10+VAT), these are accompanied by a free online account giving access to a digital provenance record for the work. They can be ordered at any time directly through the platform. This cost includes our standard service (production within 3-5 working days and P&P within the UK). For deliveries outside the UK, P&P is £3.50 extra.

On top of the certificates and the digital provenance record, we are pioneers in DNA Tags, these allow for the authentication to be inbred in the work itself.

Every tag comes with a free Certificate, provided the latter is issued after the tag has been applied to the work. Tag prices depend on the type of tag, volume, and level of service.

The prices for one-off self-service tags are:

Paper tag + Certificate = £20+VAT

Transfer tag + Certificate = £40+VAT

Canvas tag + Certificate = £55+VAT
