Limited Edition?


I'm often asked what exactly a Limited Edition print is, hope the following is helpful:

Limited Edition - Set of identical prints numbered in succession and signed by the artist. The total number of prints if fixed or "limited" by the artist who supervises the printing. All additional prints have been destroyed.

A Limited Edition Print is one in which a limit is placed on the number of prints produced in a particular edition, in order to create a scarcity of the print. Limited Editions are signed and numbered by the artist. Once the prints in the edition have been sold out, the printing plate or digital file is then destroyed by the Printmaker in order to maintain the integrity of the limited edition. The image will not be published again in the same form.

The Art of BAS follows the strict standards adhered to by the Fine Art Printing Industry, assuring the collector that each Fine Art Limited Edition is unique and produced to the highest of standards.
