GBNebulous about establishing provenance… Nebulous about establishing provenance for their work. Had to request a certificate of authenticity after purchasing, which has validity only to the extent they warrant with their signature. Not only that, but they would not provide a copy of the shipping label evidencing origin from the gallery in Japan, claiming it was destroyed as part of a bulk order of prints. After demanding to see an invoice, I was sent a redacted version of one, which didn't really verify anything at all. The only fool-proof way to verify them is to go to the origin shipper directly. Apart from the allegedly original packaging (which I cannot verify without an origin shipping label), it remains unclear if I have a true limited print. Although it would be a tremendous waste of resources to try and replicate all of this, every purchaser should be entitled to all evidence of provenance to prove legitimacy.
