What Vinny doesn't do

Vinny does not authenticate artist attribution — confirming a work is genuinely by a specific artist is specialized expert work, typically requiring an artist's authentication board, catalogue raisonné research, or forensic analysis. Vinny documents the physical piece: what it looks like, its condition, its dimensions, and what the seller has in hand. For attribution questions on high-value pieces, a specialist appraiser or authentication service is the right next step alongside a Vinny verification.
