MF Registry
A PERMANENT DIGITAL RECORD FOR EVERY ORIGINAL WORK.
MF REGISTRY is the digital provenance system for original works by Marcus Freeman.
Every registered artwork is connected to a unique digital record documenting its authenticity, origin and history. The registry creates an enduring connection between the physical artwork and its digital identity — providing collectors with a simple way to verify a work and follow provenance over time.
PHYSICAL ART. DIGITAL IDENTITY.
Each original work is assigned a unique MF REGISTRY identification and secured with a discreet digital identifier attached to the artwork.
Simply scan or tap the artwork with a smartphone to access its digital record.
The registry can include:
Artist
Marcus Freeman
Artwork
Title, year, medium and dimensions
Registry Number
A unique MF REGISTRY identification assigned to the work
Certificate of Authenticity
A digitally verified certificate connecting the physical artwork to its original record
Provenance
A chronological record of the artwork's history, including creation, acquisition, exhibitions and subsequent transfers
Ownership
Ownership transfers can be recorded while allowing collectors to maintain their privacy
Blockchain Verification
Key records are digitally secured and timestamped, creating an independent and tamper-resistant record of provenance.
SCAN. VERIFY. DISCOVER.
An MF REGISTRY work carries its history with it.
A discreet NFC or QR identifier connects the physical artwork directly to its digital record. Collectors can scan the work using a smartphone to verify its authenticity and access its recorded history.
No specialist application is required.
The result is a direct connection between the object, the artist and its provenance.
PROVENANCE THAT EVOLVES WITH THE ARTWORK
An artwork's story does not end when it leaves the studio.
MF REGISTRY is designed to accompany the work throughout its lifetime.
From its creation in the Marcus Freeman studio to its first collector, exhibitions, gallery representation and future transfers, significant events can become part of the artwork's permanent provenance.

BUILT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF COLLECTING
For centuries, provenance has relied on invoices, gallery records, labels, certificates and archives.
MF REGISTRY brings these principles into the digital age.
By combining physical identification, digital certification and blockchain-secured records, MF REGISTRY creates a more enduring way to establish the history of an original work.
The technology remains deliberately in the background.
There are no complicated cryptocurrency requirements for the collector. No digital wallet is required simply to view or verify a work.
The experience is designed to be as simple as the artwork itself:
Tap. Verify. Provenance.
AUTHENTICITY WITHOUT COMPROMISING PRIVACY
Provenance and privacy can coexist.
MF REGISTRY can document the history and transfer of an artwork without requiring the identity of a private collector to be publicly displayed.
A work may therefore show a verified acquisition or transfer while its owner remains recorded as a private collection.
This allows the provenance of the artwork to continue without compromising the privacy of the people who collect it.
ONE WORK. ONE RECORD.
Every original Marcus Freeman artwork registered with MF REGISTRY receives its own unique digital identity.
That identity begins with the artist and remains connected to the work as its history develops. The objective is simple:
to create an enduring, verifiable record of every original Marcus Freeman work — from the studio to the collector and beyond.
Physical Art. Permanent Provenance.
