Multiple
Definition: A multiple refers to an artwork produced in an edition or series, where each piece is identical or nearly identical. Multiples are often signed and numbered by the artist, and may include sculptures, objects, prints, or photographs. The term distinguishes these from unique works.
Notable artists like Joseph Beuys, Donald Judd, and Takashi Murakami have embraced multiples to make art more accessible while still maintaining collectibility. Multiples can be issued by the artist, publisher, or gallery, and their value often depends on edition size, medium, and demand.
