Open Edition Prints

Open edition prints, more widely known as posters have been around people and in people houses for many years. They all cover a large range of subject matters from a favored idea or object, famous people, reproductions of many famous paintings or drawings and cartoons. They are all in an affordable price range from a couple of bucks to a couple of hundreds, depending on the edition.
Over the past couple of years, the availability and range of open edition prints has spread all over the world. Taken from some original paintings, drawings, covers or cartoons, these images are carefully printed using state of the art technology to produce a high quality print. Unlimited in reproduction, open edition prints can always make an excellent gift for yourself or for family and friends. This way you bring quality art works into your home.
Artists usually sign and number limited edition prints, while open-edition prints may or may not be signed or numbered.
Provenance is a document detailing the past ownership, condition of a print, and where it has been displayed. The more complete the history, the easier it is to establish the print’s authenticity. While it is easier to track down the history of more contemporary works, it can be difficult for older prints. Although a full history that goes back to the artist is ideal, an incomplete history does not mean the work will not be considered authentic. If there is an incomplete provenance, make sure a third-party expert has evaluated the print and confirmed its authenticity, or at least attributed it to the referenced artist. Experienced and trusted art dealers will always provide an expert’s authentication on request.
