Edition

Edition

An edition refers to a specific set of prints or artworks that are produced at a certain time or for a particular event.

Each piece in an edition is usually numbered and may be signed by the artist, which adds to its value and collectibility. The size of the edition—how many pieces are produced—can also influence the value of each individual piece. Editions are common in the art world, allowing artists to reach a broader audience while maintaining the integrity and value of their work.

The studio is full of brightly coloured paints, with a large window on the right and a patterned rug across the floor under the painting.
