TO COMBAT fakes and forgeries in the art world, a collector may take the important step of securing a certificate of authenticity from the right sources. Certificate verifies important information such as the technique and materials used, the style and composition as well as the provenance of the artwork.

Works by the late National Artist Federico Aguilar Alcuaz are authenticated by his estate as represented by his son, Christian Aguilar. Aguilar may be contacted through his electronic media address, through the leading local auction houses or through one of Aguilar Alcuaz’s accredited galleries, Galerie Joaquin. This is the best way for collectors to be sure of their artworks, and put to rest any doubts over authenticity, provenance and ownership.
