FAR® on Your Side
Fine Art Registry® – Advocacy for the Arts
Without planning to, FAR® has become a strong consumer advocacy group for artists, collectors, art buyers, unwitting victims of fraud, and all those interested in an honest art world. This role has been somewhat thrust upon us by popular demand. But it aligns with our overall purpose "to help bring order to the world of art" so we have jumped in. And Fine Art Registry® offers the best solution to these problems so it is really only natural that we get to take on the problem.
We have an Art Forum. Anyone can register and, subject to approval to make sure we don't get spammers, can create a topic and start posting or post a reply to an existing post.
If it has something to do with the arts, with collecting, with museums, galleries, art crime, rip-offs or subjects of interest to our readers, any post is welcome.
If the subject matter warrants it, we might also write an article or articles and post them on the website. Articles will be linked to this page and will be posted by subject matter.
Below are links to already written articles by subject. Click on the link to read an article on the website or download beautifully designed PDF versions which you can print, e-mail and so on.
You can always e-mail us at and a live person will get back to you.
