Authentication & Review
Our Panel of Experts
Every artwork certified by Likha Registry is reviewed by credentialed specialists in Philippine art history, authentication, and provenance research.
Areas of Review
Art History & Attribution
Specialists in Philippine modern and contemporary art, capable of contextualising a work within an artist's documented output and period.
Provenance Research
Researchers who trace ownership chains, exhibition histories, and archival documentation to establish a work's chain of custody.
Conservation & Condition
Conservators and materials specialists who assess physical condition, medium integrity, aging characteristics, and signs of restoration.
Gallery & Market Practice
Professionals with direct experience in Philippine gallery representation, private sales, and the secondary market for Filipino artists.
Auction Market Research
Analysts with access to Philippine auction house records, price histories, and comparable sales data across major local auction platforms.
Estate & Foundation Consultation
Where applicable, consultation with artist estates, family foundations, or designated catalogue raisonné authorities for attribution-sensitive works.
On expert identity and disclosure: Expert identities may be disclosed on a per-certificate basis where consent and confidentiality allow. For Premium Review certifications, the assigned reviewer is named on the certificate. All reviewers undergo credential verification, conflict-of-interest screening, and specialization review before joining the panel. Reviewers are compensated per assessment — not per approval — to preserve independence.
All Likha Registry certifications are issued only after documentary and visual review by a qualified member of our panel. Experts are independent of Likha Registry's commercial operations and are screened for conflicts of interest prior to any assignment. Questions about our review process? Email hello@likharegistry.ph.
