Bank Vault is the only body authorised to authenticate artwork by the British contemporary artist Lincoln Townley. This is done to aid buyers, guide them towards authentic works, and prevent misrepresentations.
Many Lincoln Townley artworks have been produced by the artist since 2012, the majority of which are stored in an official archive, and are rarely released. Due to older works having been handled by third parties, the authentication process can be lengthy and challenging. Please provide as much information as you can to assist in this process.
Genuine dealers, art sales platforms and reputable auction houses will not proceed with the sale of Lincoln Townley artwork without a Certificate of Authenticity from Bank Vault, and corresponding entry in the Vault’s database. The certificate will also help insure the work for its correct value.
