Identify what each artwork is with a
SecureID Tag
An immutable and secure proximity chip embedded in an attractive label is attached to the back of an art piece using a conservationist-approved adhesive. Each tag receives a permanent unique identifier that stays with it for its lifetime.
Modern smartphones can instantly detect each piece's unique identity - whether on a gallery wall, in storage, or in a collection.
- Easily identify each piece during shipping, in storage, or while on display at art fairs or shows … with any smartphone and without physical contact
- Post-sale, allow art pieces to be traced back to your gallery, enhancing your trusted reputation for years after they leave your control
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I install the tag myself?
While self-installation is possible, Authentify recommends an authorized art handler install each tag. We offer installation services as well as detailed certification for professionals.
-
How is a tag attached?
SecureID Tags are usually attached to the reverse side of a painting on the canvas stretcher using a conservator-approved BEVA adhesive.
-
What happens if someone removes the tag?
Each tag is designed to fail if removed. A connected Dossier would indicate a missing or damaged tag and alert the owner.
-
How long does a tag last?
Tags have no power requirements and are designed to last for decades. As technology changes, backwards-compatible readers should always be available.
Preserve the paper trail of each piece with a
Digital Dossier

- Pre-sale, improve buyer confidence by easily sharing condition reports, catalogues raisonné, or previous sale receipts
