Each print is a testament to exclusivity and quality, making the world of fine art accessible and appealing to both budding enthusiasts and seasoned collectors. Discover the unique allure and potential of limited print art as we guide you through its many facets.

Art editions refer to limited edition artworks produced by the artist or in collaboration with a master printer using various techniques such as screen printing, giclées, lithographs, engravings, photo-etchings, etc.

Each piece is individually signed and numbered by the artist, guaranteeing its authenticity.

Some art editions are embellished with handmade details and released as multiple variants, increasing their collectible value.

Art editions offer an accessible and engaging way to collect and appreciate art.

The price of an art edition is influenced by the edition size, the artist, and several factors:

• Artist’s Reputation: The artist’s fame and market position affect the price. Established artists can command higher prices even with larger editions.
• Availability: When an edition sells out, most works are in private collections, increasing secondary market demand and prices.
• Artistic Value and Quality: The quality and artistic value of the prints, using high-grade materials and techniques, can justify higher prices.
• Investment and Collectible Value: Smaller editions often have higher collectible value due to their rarity, making them valuable investments for collectors.

There are a lot of different types of print art and the jargon doens’t make it easy. Here are the definitions you should know: 

• Artist’s Proof (AP): These prints are outside the edition, reserved for the artist to check print quality before the full edition is printed. AP’s are often more valuable due to their rarity (max. 10% of the edition) and usually stay within the artist’s network.
• Épreuve d’Artiste (EA): The French term for Artist’s Proof.
• Printer’s Proof (PP): Similar to AP’s but reserved for the printer to check the print quality.
• Open Edition (OE): Unlike Limited Editions, Open Editions are not limited in number and are not numbered. These are not included in The W Collection due to their low investment potential.
• Timed Edition (TE): Unlike traditional limited editions with a set number of prints, timed editions produce prints based on demand during a set period.

A study conducted by an international art platform surveyed 100 countries on Art Editions.

While our neighboring countries are in the top 10, Belgium lags behind. With The W Collection, I aim to change that!
