Fine Art Prints vs. Printed Reproductions

Some people are concerned about the term ´original´ as it pertains to a multiple like a print. Cast sculptures created from a mold have, for centuries, been considered originals. Fine Art Limited Edition prints are also viewed this manner. Originality has to do with intent and execution. An original print is one that the artist, from conception, intended to produce as a print and did so using the finest materials available. The print is produced only in limited numbers.

When an artist chooses to have an existing original painting or drawing made into a print and editioned, that print is considered a reproduction of the original, and therefore not an original itself. Printed reproductions are generally run in large editions for a mass market. When you see the term Limited Edition applied to editions numbering 500 to 1000 and above, the term ´limited´ has certainly been stretched, and you can be assured the print was produced on a high-speed offset press. A Fine Art Limited Edition generally numbers between 10 and 200, and is produced by hand on flatbed presses. For a complete list of printmaking terms, go to ARTinaClick.com

Original/Hand Pulled Lithograph

Considered an original graphic, they are produced as multiples. The artist draws on the surface of a limestone block (traditionally) or metal alloy plate (contemporarily), with a grease pencil or "touché", where he would like his image to appear. The surface is dampened with water and oily ink is rolled over the drawn areas. The ink clings to the greasy marks, but not to the dampened areas. Paper is applied to the stone and the ink is transferred from the greasy, inked areas. Each color in the print requires a separate stone or plate and sometimes as many as fifty stones or plates are used. For additional printmaking terms go to ARTinaClick.com
