communique

 

For many years, Chiara Jaeger, former Executive Director and now Administrator, has guided the Foundation team
in processing authentication requests
for works by Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber submitted to the fondation arp.

 

Aspiring to a well-deserved retirement, Chiara Jaeger has requested to gradually relinquish this responsibility, which will eventually fall entirely to the Fondation's internal team.

 

Your authentication requests should now be sent to a new email address created for this purpose: authentifications@fondationarp.org

Your primary contact will be Mirela Ionesco, Secretary General of the fondation arp, who has been in charge of authentications alongside Chiara Jaeger for the past 15 years.

 

The fondation arp guarantees the continuity, availability, and quality of its services under the conditions you have always known and appreciated, the same conditions that have ensured its excellent reputation.

authentication of works

of jean arp and sophie taeuber

 

Thanks to the richness of its archives and the experience acquired over the last twenty years, the foundation

is internationally recognized for its expertise

as regards the authentication of works

of Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber.

 

Applications are sent by mail to the Foundation or
authentifications@fondationarp.org

 

authentification process

The request for authentication of an work

supposably by Jean Arp or Sophie Taeuber starts

with this downloadable form.

This completed form must be accompanied by photographs of the work and any signatures, foundry marks, labels, etc. These documents are integrated

into the archives of the fondation arp.

 

Researches are charged 800 € per work presented.

They begin on receipt of the payment by wire transfer

to the banking account of the foundation arp.

The payment will be retained even if the work is proven not to be of the hand of Arp or Taeuber.

In some cases, the Foundation requests the work

be physically presented.

 

certificate of authenticity

For the issuance of a certificate of authenticity,

the work must be presented physically

at the fondation arp.

The cost for establishing a certificate of authenticity is :
- 1500 € for works on paper,
- 2500 € for metal sculptures (bronze, duralumin, etc.),
- 3500 € for stone sculptures (limestone, marble, granite, etc.) and reliefs.

For any other materials, please contact us.

 

Exceptionally, for the most complex cases, the Foundation may request support of the comité arp taeuber,

after agreement of the owner of the work concerned.

A supplement of € 300 will be requested.
