YR625/12-LSS Description: Venis Artist Name: Yana Rafael Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Signature: Unsigned Image size: 30 x 24 in Condition: Excellent Yana Rafael's Biography and Career Highlights (relevant to provenance): Birth and Education: Born in Ukraine in 1975 (some sources say 1972). She studied at the High School of the Arts and graduated as an art teacher from the State Art College in Kharkiv, Ukraine. She also pursued higher courses at the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia. These educational credentials establish her artistic training and origins. Early Career (Yana Ranevskaya): In 2003, she emigrated to Israel and was known for her artwork under her maiden name, Yana Raneyskaya. She worked in the studio of I. Tarkay until 2006. This period marks her early professional activity and potential exhibition/sale history in Israel. Move to the United States and Name Change: In 2013, she married and emigrated to the United States, at which point she began painting under her married name, Yana Rafael. This is an important detail for tracking her works, as older pieces might be signed with her maiden name. Galleries and Auctions: She has collaborated with Israeli and American galleries, and her work has been sold at cruise ship auctions in the United States. Online platforms like Qart.com and MutualArt also list her works for sale and show past auction results. Certificates of Authenticity (COA): Some listings for her paintings mention a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) issued by entities like GOL Art Gallery and Publishing or a "Letter of Authenticity." These documents are direct evidence of a work's origin from the artist or an authorized representative, making them a key part of provenance. Signatures: Her works are generally signed by Yana Rafael. A clear signature from the artist is a basic element of provenance. To research the specific provenance of a Yana Rafael artwork, you would look for: Original Purchase Records: Receipts or invoices from galleries, art dealers, or the artist directly. Certificates of Authenticity: Any COAs that came with the artwork. Exhibition History: Documentation of any shows where the piece was displayed. Previous Ownership Records: Bills of sale, donation records, or any documentation of transfers between private collectors. Auction Records: If the piece has been sold at auction, the auction house's catalog and sale results will list its history. Websites like MutualArt provide auction results for her works. Correspondence: Any letters or emails between the artist and owners, or between owners themselves, that mention the artwork. Condition Reports: Documentation of the physical state of the artwork at different points in its history.
