Where to Obtain a Missing Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
Josef Kote’s original artworks and limited-edition prints created during his lifetime were acquired exclusively through galleries representing him. If you do not have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), please contact the gallery where you obtained the piece to request one. Our studio will reissue certificates only upon formal request from the gallery and after verifying all required credentials.
What Is a Limited-Edition Giclée Print?
Giclée prints are high-end, museum-quality fine art reproductions of existing artworks. All our canvas prints are archival and produced to the highest standards to represent the original artwork accurately. Each print in an edition is handcrafted and possesses unique qualities that may vary slightly from one print to another. Every piece is carefully produced to ensure exceptional quality and exclusivity.
Why are some prints similar in size but different in price?
Several factors affect the price: size, subject, and technicality. Each print and canvas is carefully and thoughtfully priced.

Are the prints signed?
Each print is signed and numbered, confirming its limited-edition status and authenticating the edition.
Are the prints hand-enhanced?
