Premium art galleries,
curated for collectors
who refuse the ordinary.

Every work that enters the catalogue passes through three desks before it is photographed. It is first traced to its studio and to the exhibitions and collections that have previously held it. It is then examined by one of our in-house conservators for condition, restoration history, and material consistency. Finally — and only after both steps clear — is the certificate of authenticity issued in the artist's or estate's name.

Since 2021 those certificates have been backed by a private blockchain ledger, giving every collector a permanent record of authorship, edition number, prior provenance, and the date the work entered our holding. It is a quiet practice, and we hope it stays so.

We do not list work we cannot trace. If a piece's earlier history is incomplete, it is held back from the catalogue rather than offered with a footnote. Of the works we are offered each year, roughly one in seven clears our provenance review and is published.

Every sale is covered by our thirty-day authenticity guarantee: should a recognised independent authority dispute the attribution of a work purchased through Tease Galleries within thirty days of delivery, we refund the purchase in full and absorb the cost of return. The guarantee has been invoked four times across our 6,800 transactions.
