What is a Limited Edition Print?
A Limited Edition is an edition of identical prints numbered
sequentially and individually signed by the artist, having
a stated limit to the number in the edition. Our edition
sizes can vary dramatically, normally ranging from 750 to
1150. A limited edition print is produced using museum quality
inks and pH neutral (acid-free) paper to preserve the life
of the print and to prevent discoloration. All limited edition
prints are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
What is an Artist's Proof?
Artist's Proofs are a special subset of the regular limited
edition, traditionally totaling about 10% of the regular
edition. Although they are virtually identical to the regular
edition, Artist’s Proofs are all signed and numbered consecutively
with Roman numerals by the artist, for example, AP VIII/C
(meaning 8 out of 100 prints). Since 2002, all Artist's
Proofs of the paper edition have Mort Künstler's signature
embossed in the right hand margin. Because of their smaller
editions, Artist’s Proofs are more rare and therefore, higher
priced.
What is a Giclée?
A giclée print is created with digital printers using tiny
ink jets that spray microscopic ink droplets onto a sheet
of canvas, creating a lush, vibrant and textured art print
that has the look of an original painting. Our canvas giclées
come stretched, ready for framing and need no glass in front
of the image to protect them. The giclée is typically larger
in size than the limited edition print and slightly smaller
than the original painting. The editions vary between 50
and 100 giclées.
