Reproduction
A reproduction is a copy or replica of an original piece of artwork, created through various methods like printing, casting, or digital copying.
Reproductions allow more people to own and appreciate a piece of art that may be too rare or expensive in its original form. However, reproductions usually do not hold as much value as the original artwork. They are often used for educational purposes, in public displays, or as decorative pieces.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is a set number of similar or identical artworks. The size of the edition denotes the total number of artworks that will ever be made, underscoring their value.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. Our standard glazing offer is a minimum 90% UV acrylic plexiglass, or you can upgrade to an anti reflective Optium museum plexiglass.
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.
Every artwork is signed or stamped, and individually numbered. You will also receive a stamped and numbered certificate of authenticity.
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.
