What this document does and does not say
Entries without a mark were witnessed by Trace and recorded as they happened — a sale that settled through our escrow, or an exhibition we hosted. Entries marked self-reported were entered by the artist or an owner and describe events before the piece reached this platform. They are recorded because they are part of the work's history, not because we confirmed them.
This is a record of custody, not an appraisal, an authentication or a title guarantee. Trace does not value artwork and takes no position on what the piece is worth.
One owner in this chain has chosen not to be named publicly, and appears as “Private collection”. This is the same convention auction catalogues have used for a century and does not weaken the record: Trace verified each of those transfers and holds the identities behind them.
Whenever this piece is resold on Trace, 5% of the new price is paid to the artist out of the seller's proceeds.
