Fine Art Registry™ Tags Now Shipping with Masterpiece Elite Canvases
Masterpiece has for years been producing the finest pre-stretched, numbered canvases, used by artists worldwide as their favorite ground on which to create their masterpieces. The idea of adding to the authenticity and provenance of the piece by providing a serial number for each canvas has now been greatly expanded by incorporating the FAR® tag on the back of each, giving them a truly unique position at the top of the art canvas industry.Artists purchasing Masterpiece Elite canvases (featured in the new Dick Blick catalogue) will finish a piece and then log on to www.fineartregistry.com to activate the tag on their canvas. "Registering the Elite canvas with the Fine Art Registry adds intrinsic value to the work," says Donna Wilson, Vice President of Marketing for Masterpiece. "The Fine Art Registry tag and registration creates added value that is thoroughly explained in a DVD enclosed with each of the Elite canvases. We are so enthusiastic about offering this service to our customers that we will soon be enclosing Fine Art Registry information with all of our canvases." Read the full report here. |
