Original prints are valued as collectible as any other artistic medium. For example, a photograph of a painting or drawing which is then printed out as an edition is considered a “reproduction” of the original artwork, and not artwork itself. A work of art created digitally on a computer and printed out is also an original print.Ī reproduction print indicates that the print is not the original medium of the artwork. Any type of printmaking is an original print (intaglio, monoprint, etc). For example, a photograph printed is an original print. Reproduction PrintsĪn original print indicates that the print is of the original medium that the artist created the work in. The number of a limited edition print is usually marked in pencil on the front of an actual print (lithograph, collograph, etc), or is usually marked in pencil on the reverse side of a photograph directly on the photo paper, or in pen or pencil on a label or the material which the photograph is mounted to.Īn unlimited edition print is a print run that has no fixed number of prints from the beginning of the run. For example, the first print in an edition of 20 would be marked as 1/20 and the last work in this edition would be marked 20/20. Limited edition prints are marked with two numbers: the unique number of the print and the size of the entire print run. Unlimited EditionĪ limited edition print is an edition that has a fixed number of prints from the beginning of the print run, and the number of prints never changes. I decided that editioned prints and photographs deserve their own post! Below is key information for artists who print and sell editioned artwork. I have been working on an article which contains advice and discussion about pricing artwork.
