Human Verified
An evidence review for artist identity and creative process.
A Human Verified badge means an artist or artwork record has completed the current evidence review. It does not mean every artist or artwork on the site is verified. The review checks the identity and process evidence relevant to that record. It does not judge taste, predict value, or replace buyer due diligence.
What Verification Confirms
- Identity evidence relevant to the record was submitted and reviewed
- Portfolio records were checked for a consistent artist history
- Workspace or studio evidence was reviewed when available
- Process evidence such as studies, progress images, or material records was reviewed
- The badge applies only to the approved artist or artwork record
- Submitted records can be revisited when the profile or work changes
What Verification Is Not
- A judgment that one artistic style is better than another
- A guarantee that every listed work has separate verification
- A provenance certificate or complete ownership history
- A guarantee of price, resale value, authenticity, or future demand
- A substitute for contracts, condition reports, or buyer due diligence
- Permission to reproduce an artwork or use it commercially

-
Evidence Review
The review compares identity, portfolio, workspace, and process materials for a consistent record.

Questions and Corrections
Missing or conflicting details are returned for clarification instead of being filled with assumptions.

Badge Decision
Approved profiles may display the current Human Verified badge. The badge status can be removed or revisited when the record changes.
Current program status: Phase 1 uses one Human Verified status on artist and artwork records. Separate studio tiers, certificate pages, QR provenance pages, and fee-based verification packages are not active features today.
Look for the Human Verified badge on artist or artwork records that have completed the current review. Read the complete record before making a purchase decision.
