Truth lives in the corpus.
VeraCorpus consolidates a century of scattered scholarship into a single authoritative record — then tests every object against it for attribution and price.
Get in TouchEuropean bronze sculpture carries a long paper trail — foundry records, exhibition catalogues, provenance letters, scholarly monographs, auction results. Over decades and across borders, that trail fragments. Bronzes are reattributed without evidence, relabelled as originals when they are period casts, or priced against a market that has never been properly mapped.
The knowledge that would correct this exists. It sits in dealer archives, institutional catalogues, and specialist scholarship accumulated over more than a century. It has simply never been brought together.
That is the work VeraCorpus does. We consolidate the fragmented record into one authoritative corpus — the complete, verified body of knowledge about an artist's work — and make it available as the reference point for every attribution and pricing question that follows.
For each artist or foundry in our coverage, we assemble the primary record: catalogue raisonnés, foundry stamps and edition data, exhibition history, auction records, scholarly correspondence, and comparative sale results. The corpus is the sum of what is genuinely known — not estimated, not averaged, but documented.
When a bronze is submitted to VeraCorpus, we test it against that record. Our analysis identifies the specific points where an object's documentation, physical characteristics, and pricing history align with or diverge from the established corpus — surfacing the evidence that supports or complicates the current attribution and valuation.
The output is not a verdict. It is a structured evidence report: what the record shows, where the gaps are, and what a competent scholar or appraiser should examine next. We do not replace expert judgment; we give experts and their clients a better-organised body of evidence to work from.
VeraCorpus is currently working with a select group of dealers, auction houses, and private collectors. If you are considering a significant acquisition, handling a consignment, or reviewing a collection, we would like to hear from you.
