Prints & Editions

Prints and editions are how most people buy their first original artwork, and they come with their own rulebook: edition sizes, fraction numbering, artist's proofs, and a dozen printing techniques that affect what a piece is and what it costs. This collection explains all of it in buyer-friendly terms. We cover the difference between an original print and a reproduction, what the pencil marks in the margin actually mean, and how to read a certificate of authenticity critically. No hype about prints as investments — just the knowledge to know exactly what you're buying before you pay for it.
