- Art Edition history - nlln nn Painting on canvas is a traditional form of artistic expression. However, in the late 19th century and the early 20th century, renowned artists in Europe were seeking a new art form that would give their works a more modern feel. And so Art Printmaking was born. Now recognized for their excellence, limited edition art prints are to be seen on walls the world over. Whether on the part of museums, foundations, or private collectors, the desire to acquire fine art prints (etchings) never cease to grow. An original art print or engraving is a unique creation, directly engraved and completed by the artist himself on a chosen surface (stone, copper, wood). The next stage is the production of a very few limited editions, all of them numbered. The surface is manually inked and the works printed, one by one, on different sheets of paper using a press. The uniqueness of the piece comes from the fact that this manual process makes all the prints slightly different. Following creation, the artist always signs and numbers each of his art prints. This stage enables the artist to verify the quality of his work and to ensure the genuine exclusiveness of each print. While
many art prints are distributed worldwide to museums or galleries,
a few prints or engravings are reserved for the artist himself (artist’s
proofs AP) and are recognizable by a number system different from
the rest of the edition (EA, AP or HC), or they are not numbered at
all which makes the art piece even more collectable!
