What are artist proofs?
Many successful artists will create a limited edition, called a signed and numbered (S/N) edition and an artist proof edition (AP).
Historically, the artist proofs were the first prints created and ultimately inspected or “proofed” by the artist. If those prints met the artist’s critical approval, they were set aside and the rest of the edition was printed.
Today, most publishers limited the artist proof edition to 10 percent of the signed and numbered edition, making it more limited and potentially more valuable. Because of the limited number, it can be the first group to sell out from the publisher. Extra attention and detail is added to each artist proof edition.
Generally, the cost of Butirskiy’s artist proof edition is $500.00 over the signed and numbered edition. As his edition sells out, however, the prices will more than double. Always try to get the work at the opening or issue price.
Here is a preview of some of the images that will be available for the show. Click on any image to enlarge.
