1 Kosmos is a platform that enables independent artists to present and offer their works to collectors. The description, authorship, and originality of each artwork are represented by the artist submitting the work to the platform.

To support transparency and informed acquisition decisions, 1 Kosmos provides contextual information and verification signals where available. These may include:

• Artist identity and profile information
• Documentation or statements associated with the artwork
• Artwork metadata and platform records
• Evidence of artistic practice, exhibitions, or prior collector relationships
• Provenance information where available

These elements are intended to provide visibility into the artist's background and the context surrounding the work.

All representations regarding the authorship, originality, and description of artworks are provided by the submitting artist. While 1 Kosmos facilitates the presentation of artworks and maintains associated platform records, the responsibility for the authenticity of the artwork remains with the artist who has submitted the work.

Accordingly, 1 Kosmos does not independently certify or guarantee the authenticity of artworks listed on the platform.

The platform continues to develop systems that improve transparency around artist identity, artwork documentation, and provenance, helping collectors evaluate artworks with greater confidence.

If you require clarification regarding any artwork listed on the platform, please contact the 1 Kosmos team at:
