The Print RoomWhat are 'reproduction prints' and how do they differ from 'printmaking'?
In this section you will find two very different print processes. The first are 'reproduction prints' (mainly limited edition giclee) of paintings by various artists; the original media most commonly being oils, acrylics and watercolours. They are in a sense 'copies' of an original and usually have fairly large edition sizes. Relative value is determined by production cost, print edition size (lower being of greater value) and relative success of the artist. Most are signed and they tend to be affordable ways of owning wonderful images by well known artists.
These are not to be confused with 'printmaking' which is a specific art in itself with which the print is the art (linocuts, woodcuts, screen printing and so forth) and printed by the artist using traditional printmaking techniques. In this sense the print is the original. These are true pieces of art, 'edition' sizes are usually very small and their relative worth is much higher because the purchase is for a piece of art and not a copy or reproduction of art. It is this latter category that is the focus of our May exhibition.
