Welcome to Fine Art Heritage
We are the only art organisation in the world especially set up to reproduce limited edition, gallery-quality, signed and numbered fine-art prints by major artists, with a large part of the funds raised going to charities.
As such we have the support of the best artists and art experts worldwide.
You may name your own Registered Charity or any Charitable organisation with tax deductible status and we will arrange for a donation to be made to that Registered Charity in your name.
There are three requirements.
- You must supply us with the full name, address and contact details of the charity or charitable organisation, its Registered Number and where it is registered. The charity itself will be more than happy to give you this information.
- It cannot be a religious organisation or associated with any religious organisation.
- It cannot be a political organisation or associated with any political organisation.
- Fine Art Heritage reserves at all times the right to decide whether the charity you nominate meets its criteria.
The charity or charitable organisation could be one such as World Vision or Save The Children; or your local branch of Rotary or Zonta, your State or regional art gallery, or a charitable appeal such as the current Bush Fire Appeal in Victoria, Australia. The choice is yours.
Our artists are carefully selected for their national and international reputations, their collectability and sales popularity. In most cases the works have been especially painted for this programme, otherwise they are from artist's own private collection. None of the works will ever be reproduced in any manner again.
We have also developed entirely new reproduction techniques for these prints that are unique to us in the world.
The standard of our reproductions is quite simply the highest our artists and art experts have ever seen - in fact both the artists and art experts who represent them confess that they cannot tell the difference between the original and the reproduction. (Please see the page 'Artists and Art Experts Comments')
Each of our specialist colour correctors works directly from the original on just one reproduction at a time. They spend between 100 to 200 hours just on the first stage and their work is closely supervised throughout. We usually use at least a thousand dollars worth of material purely in test printing until we are totally satisfied.
Then, depending on what is required for the particular work, we will bring in whatever new and additional techniques we have developed that are needed achieve the correct final result. These can include specially formulated treatments to saturate the colours for absolute accuracy, and adding special additional colours and finishes including 3 dimensional coatings and glazes.
All our work is fully archival using Hahnemühle mould-made papers (Hahnemühle have been making paper for over 400 years) and Hahnemühle Artist's canvas. These are the best art materials in the world. They are then printed with 100% pigment-based inks, all of which are fully UV stable. Our additional finishes are also archivally fully compatible with all other the materials used. These are prints which will be in your family for generations.
Each print in the limited edition is then numbered and signed by the artist (except where this is geographically not feasible, in which case they sign and number the Certificate of Authenticity. In this folio all works are signed on the print by the artist except for Mr Humphries and Ms Weir’s paintings).
The unique, high-security Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity with full details of the work, which is signed by the artist in every case, is forwarded to each purchaser and registered on our main data base and also on the main Hahnemühle fine-art data base in
West Germany.
The Certificate carries an embedded hologram with a special serial number. Each print also carries a unique hologram on the reverse with its own serial number which matches the number on the Certificate. Any attempt to remove the hologram results in the destruction of the serial number.
This protects your investment for insurance purposes in any case of loss or damage.
The end results are highly collectable, valuable art investments from some of the great art names of our time. These are more than mere reproductions. They will certainly increase in value over time and will form an important part of your family or corporate collection as well as bringing fine art of the highest level into your home or office.
And in every case 40% (and up to 60% of the purchase price, depending on the work) will go to the charity of your choice (subject to the conditions noted above) to continue their humanitarian work.
