Artist's Proof
An AP, or artist's proof, is a copy of an edition that is kept by the artist for their own personal use.
Artist's proofs are generally marked as 'AP' and are sometimes altered or hand-finished by the artist, making them more valuable to collectors. The number of artist's proofs is usually limited and separate from the main edition. They offer a glimpse into the artist's creative process and are often considered more valuable than regular edition prints.
