PROCEDURES

The Alighiero Boetti Archive provides an archiving service with a view to general cataloguing. This service is linked to the issuance of a certificate upon request by the collectors themselves.

In light of the work carried out over the last thirty years and the volumes of the Catalogue already published since September 2025, however, only works already known by Archives are certified. When the Archive indicates that a work is ‘known,’ this does not imply that the work is authentic, studied, and archived. It only means that the Archive has a trace or documentation, even vague, relating to its existence and that at that moment the information is still being defined. Consequently, at this specific stage, the work does not require the issuance of a certificate.

HOW TO PROCEED

To check whether they are already known, you must send by email to info@archivioalighieroboetti.it:

1. The form of archiving verification completed in all its entries. [Entry archiving verification]

2. Color photographic of the front and the back of the work in high resolution (as well as photos of the signature and/or inscription, if present)

You will be contacted by email to confirm whether you can proceed.

If the work is already known to the Archive, you will be informed of the next steps to obtain the certificate, or if the artefact has already been deemed unattributable or unarchivable as a work.

Certification is subject to a fee and follows a specific price list based on the type of work (link to certification costs). This payment is considered a lump sum reimbursement for expenses and activities related to the consultation. This payment is to be considered as a flat-rate reimbursement for expenses and activities related to consultancy. (see costs of expertise).

We do not make economic estimates of the works or sale of the same.
