What are Prints and Multiples? - Art Market Terms

Prints and multiples are artistic works intentionally produced in multiple, identical copies, representing a sophisticated approach to art reproduction and democratization of art ownership. These carefully created artworks challenge traditional notions of artistic uniqueness, offering collectors accessible entry points to significant artistic expressions while maintaining the artist's creative integrity. These works are typically seen as originals as artists will work directly with an art publisher to create a series and are considered part of an artists canon. These works can span many genres and techniques and are usually signed and numbered.
