Editions

Buying limited edition art through renowned galleries or other trusted art dealers is one of the most reliable ways to build a collection, as it ensures verified provenance – a crucial consideration for future resale. In many cases, editions can be purchased directly from the publisher, guaranteeing the piece comes straight from the source in flawless condition. Schellmann Art, a distinguished and widely respected publisher, offers signed and numbered limited editions by over 200 leading contemporary artists.

A limited edition artwork is created in a set, predetermined number, which makes each piece more exclusive and typically more valuable than open editions. Limited edition artworks are usually signed and numbered by the artist to guarantee their authenticity and rarity. Limited editions provide collectors with the opportunity to acquire high-quality art at a more affordable price than one-of-a-kind pieces.

A certificate of authenticity for limited art editions is an official document that verifies the work’s origin, confirming that it is a genuine piece created or approved by the artist. It typically includes details such as the artist’s name, the title of the work, the edition number, and sometimes the date of creation. This certificate helps prove the artwork’s legitimacy and value, giving collectors confidence in their purchase. In certain cases, the certificate also bears the artist’s signature – particularly when the artwork itself is not suitable for signing.
