Edition size refers to the total number of copies produced in a specific edition of prints or artworks.
The size of an edition can significantly impact the value of each individual piece; smaller editions are often considered more exclusive and therefore may command higher prices. Artists and publishers usually decide on the edition size based on various factors such as the artwork's popularity, the artist's reputation, and market demand.
Dmitri Cherniak reconfigures his pioneering series with a silkscreen print that nods to the algorithmic parameters of Generative art.
Originally released in 2021, the Ringers series illustrates the almost infinite ways a string could be wrapped around a set of pegs, created by an algorithm that allows an limitless variety of combinations of this concept. Derived from a unique Javascript transaction hash, each output contains feature variations including peg count, size, layout, wrap orientation and colourful flourishes.
Realised as a physical print edition, this new incarnation of Ringers is a 9-piece parameter sweep laid out in a 3x3 grid. The number of pegs sampled are changed between 10% and 100%, with the signature yellow peg remaining consistent in each composition. Ringer #962, donated to LACMA, appears in the centre. To support the future of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, proceeds from Cherniak's first Avant Arte edition will be donated to the museum, alongside the original work.
The artist’s three signature colours are boldly realised in seven layers of silkscreen, each enhanced by embossment. Each print is paired with an NFT of the same artwork. Claiming instructions will be shared with collectors after launch.
The exact edition size will be determined by the number of prints ordered in the 24 hour release window. When this window ends, artworks will be printed and shipped worldwide free of charge.
30 unique artworks form an ensemble of grinning bronze cats by Ryan Travis Christian.
The devilish cat originates from Christian’s drawing Cut Dick, depicting a row of cats standing in hell. In a sculptural re-imagining, each cat holds a framed graphite drawing, riffing on vintage rubber-hose animation.
Spanning loaded themes such as gunplay, medication, self depreciation and dizzying abstract patterns, each drawing is a dive into the artist’s mind. With a plethora of satirical connotations attached to each illustration, Christian hopes for the viewer to determine what story each cat holds.
Please note that works from the edition will be randomly assigned.
A collaboration between Ayako Rokkaku and Avant Arte gives collectors the chance to take a leap of faith with a unique timed edition.
Ayako Rokkaku is one of Japan’s foremost contemporary artists. Her canvases – vibrant, dreamlike and emotionally-charged – exude freedom.
As Rokkaku paints live in London, a print edition based on the work she creates will be available to order. When the painting is finished, the timed edition will continue until the 24 hour release window ends. Edition size will be determined by the total number of orders received in this time.
In the days that follow, Rokkaku will work with printmakers to translate her painting into a hybrid print combining UV-cured ink with glossy silkscreen varnish. Once perfected, the edition will be printed, stamped and shipped to collectors worldwide. This will be Rokkaku’s first print with stamped authentication. Previously, her signature stamp has only appeared on original works.

Jang Koal leans on ancient associations of the female and the feline to create Umma.
Umma, Korean for Mother, is a sculptural interpretation of the artist’s original painting ‘Mother of Cats’. A glossy female figure reclines nude, complimenting Koal’s elegant graphic language. She is surrounded by hand-painted bronze cats – the black symbolises protection, the white feeds from one of her six teats. This vision of harmony between feline and human implies that we are not as different as we seem.
To benefit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, silkscreen print Too Darn Hot combines a landmark moment for Tom Sachs’ practice with his continued investigations of the past, present and future of authentication.
“The thing about faith is that it's for the faithful. It only works if you believe in it.”
The acquisition of Too Darn Hot – a ‘frankenrocket’ from Sachs’ trailblazing Rocket Factory project – by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) underscored the museum’s position as one of the most progressive in the world with regard to the intersections of art and technology. To support the future of this position, 40% of proceeds from the Sachs’ first Avant Arte edition will be donated to LACMA.
Each 13-colour silkscreen print includes a group of mechanisms conceived by the artist to establish its authenticity, and as integral parts of the artwork. A debossed design includes information from the launch of Sachs’ physical Too Darn Hot rocket at LACMA in 2021. A rubber stamp in its centre denotes the print’s specific number within the overall edition. A QR code printed in UV ink connects each print with the original Too Darn Hot NFT metadata on the blockchain. On the print’s reverse is a tamper-proof holographic sticker, placed alongside a QR code sticker that links to a unique token on the blockchain – an NFT – which serves as a certificate of authenticity for the print it connects with. A second, printed certificate of authenticity shipped with each print also links directly to this NFT.
The exact edition size will be determined by the number of prints ordered in the 24 hour release window. When this window ends, artworks will be printed, authenticated and shipped worldwide free of charge.
Jonny Niesche explores the unique materiality of copper in his captivating print, moon moth lust in warm copper.
Exploring themes of beauty, lust and desire the work draws inspiration from a moth's intuition to fly towards a light source – in this case the moon. The hypnotic green and pink gradient is sampled from a Spanish moon moth and vintage Avon beauty bottles. These colours highlight the undertones of brushed copper, the reflective qualities of which run through the artist’s practice.
”Since childhood, the dense allure of copper always seemed to harbour a sense of magic for me.”
We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is part of a unique series of pieces. Limited editions are fixed in quantity, meaning we will only ever produce a certain number.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
No—the copyright is not transferred to the purchaser of the edition.
All the ins and outs can be found on our orders and shipping page.
