Certificate of Authenticity

A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is a document issued by a reputable source that confirms the genuineness of an artwork. Often, COAs are signed by the artist, but they can also be signed by the gallery representing the artist or the printmaker who collaborated on the piece. For works sold in the secondary market, COAs are frequently issued by authorized estates or foundations.

COAs usually contain the artist's name, the artwork's title, date, medium, and dimensions, and, whenever possible, an image of the piece.

Gallop II Gallop II is a unique, hand-built ceramic sculpture from the key series of Winged Vessels by Veronika Janovec. Its body rises from a grounded, vessel-like base and opens into a crown of sharp, upswept edges, like wings caught mid-lift or cliffs mid-weathering. The surface is dark, with a rough, mineral texture and a lustrous sheen that shifts with the light. Fissures, ridges, and hollows run through the form, so it reads like a sea cliff or a weathered rock face. Process Built entirely by hand, without a wheel or mold, using a blend of coiling and slab attachments. The edges are left irregular, so the form keeps the record of how it was made. The sculpture was made during a performance, and thus it carries strong traces of process and movement. Materials and firing Clay body: stoneware Surface: unique glaze, combining matt and shiny areas Firing: 2 firings Watertight: yes Details Dimensions: H 40 × D 50 cm Weight: 15 kg Year: 2026 Edition: Unique piece Signed: Yes Photographed on a plinth with a 30 × 30 cm base (plinth not included) About this work Gallop II comes from the performance Gallop, a two-hour live perfomance at Funkhaus Berlin, and is the central piece to emerge from it. Formally, it belongs to the Winged Vessels, a series in which the vessel is a grounded body and cantilevered slabs lift from it as wings. The glaze is made to read as metal, and the form carries the heat of the firing. It is a sculptural object rather than a functional vessel, best shown alone on a plinth, where the light moves across the glaze. Made through a performance, it cannot be repeated.

FAQ

The description states the weight is 15 kg, but the product data lists 25 kg. Which is the correct weight of the sculpture?

The correct weight of the sculpture is 15 kg.

Does this unique, signed piece come with a certificate of authenticity or signed provenance documentation from Veronika Janovec?

How is this fragile ceramic sculpture packaged for shipping, and is there a safe-arrival/breakage guarantee?

What are the recommended care and cleaning instructions for the mixed matt and shiny metallic-reading glaze?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry brush. For marks, wipe gently with a damp, lint-free cloth using water only, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners. When handling, lift with both hands by the body and base rather than the delicate upswept edges.

The piece is photographed on a plinth (not included). Can a matching display plinth be purchased separately or recommended?

A matching display plinth is not available for purchase, though a recommendation can be provided upon request.

Although the glaze is watertight, is this sculpture suitable for outdoor display or strictly indoor use?
