| Definition: |
An artist proof is a numbered print that is not included within a limited edition. These prints are often signed “AP” or “Artist Proof” with the standard edition size not to go beyond 10% of the regular limited edition size. For example, an edition of 200 would have 20 artist proofs. Serious art collectors often want artist proofs because there are fewer of them. And sometimes an artist proof is remarqued – which makes the print even more desirable. However, it is important to note that artists’ proofs are not necessarily better in quality than the regular print edition due to modern printing techniques. |
