Frequently Asked Questions

What is ARTAG?

ARTAG is a cloud-based platform that creates secure, digital records for artworks, furniture, and collectibles. Each record stores provenance, condition, ownership history, and supporting documentation — accessible anytime via a discreet physical tag or secure login.

 
How does ARTAG help with insurance?

ARTAG provides time-stamped, insurer-friendly records of value, condition, and ownership. This supports smoother claims, appraisals, and underwriting processes, reducing the risk of disputes or undervaluation.

 
Do I need the NFC tag to use ARTAG?

No — the core of ARTAG is the cloud platform. The NFC tag simply provides fast, physical access to a record. You can also access your archive through your ARTAG account.

 
What types of items can I register with ARTAG?

ARTAG works with art, design, vintage furniture, antiques, collectibles, and heirlooms — anything where provenance, value, and documentation matter.

 
Who can view my records?

Only you (and people you give permission to). ARTAG records are private by default, but can be securely shared with insurers, buyers, or legal representatives when needed.

 
What makes ARTAG insurance-ready?

Each record includes essential fields for valuation, condition, and ownership history. The platform formats records to meet typical insurer documentation standards, helping prove both value and custody.

 
Can I upload images and documents to my record?

Yes. You can add high-res images, receipts, restoration reports, appraisals, and any other documents that support the item’s provenance and condition.

 
What happens if I sell or gift an item?

You can transfer ownership of the ARTAG record to the new owner, maintaining a secure chain of custody and enhancing resale value.

 
Is ARTAG suitable for dealers and auction houses?

Absolutely. Dealers can use ARTAG to pre-load stock with digital documentation, while auction houses can issue post-sale records that are insurance- and buyer-ready.
