Culture Minister Salehi introduces national art registry system

IBNA- Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Abbas Salehi has announced the launch of a comprehensive national registry system for artworks, aimed at combating forgery and establishing clear economic value for cultural products.

Salehi made the announcement during a press conference held on Tuesday to mark the Administration Week.

One of the chronic pains for cultural and artistic figures has been that our cultural works lack identification, and therefore their economic value is unclear, he said, declaring an initiative to resolve the issue.

Each digital ID will contain detailed information, including the art genre, the artist’s name, the dimensions of the work, its creation date, and the owner's specifications.

By providing a verifiable provenance and identity, registered artworks will gain legitimacy, he said.
