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.

Your questions, answered

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.

A limited edition is a set number of similar or identical artworks. The size of the edition denotes the total number of artworks that will ever be made, underscoring their value.

Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. Our standard glazing offer is a minimum 90% UV acrylic plexiglass, or you can upgrade to an anti reflective premium acrylic.

Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.

Every artwork is signed or stamped, and individually numbered. You will also receive a stamped and numbered certificate of authenticity.

No—the copyright is not transferred to the purchaser of the edition.

All the ins and outs can be found on our orders and shipping page.
