WHAT ARE OPEN EDITIONS?
“OPEN EDITIONS” are prints published in unlimited quantities and for as long as there is demand for the image. Because so many prints are published, inexpensive materials are used. The price of an open edition is normally lower and open editions are considered a temporary form of art. You will find open editions frequently with trendy art (children’s subjects, sports, cartoons, famous people) and the like. Open editions may contain a published signature of the artist, but almost never a hand-written signature. A “POSTER” is an open edition print that contains some text, often of an advertising nature, on the margin or image of the print.
