Over the years I have had many e-mails about art work categories. I am no expert
and must admit that my perception about art work has not matched with others.
When eBay recently changed some categories in art work listings I did a little
research and below is a little of what I came across.
I find that many of my prints that are on my eBay store, I had listed as reproductions
and by definitions below many our original prints.
Also many open edition prints by definition can also be original prints.
As for limited edition prints, I always felt that they had to be signed by the artist: whereas by definition they do not necessarily have to be signed for this category.
Anyway, I thought I would just pass the below information.
Original prints
Art form consisting of the production of images, usually on
paper but occasionally on fabric, parchment, plastic, or
other support, by various techniques of multiplication,
under the direct supervision of or by the hand of the artist.
Such fine prints are considered original works of art, even
though they can exist in multiple copies. The major
techniques are relief printing, where the background is cut
away, leaving a raised image; intaglio printing, where the
image is incised directly into the plate; surface printing
such as lithography, where the image is painted or drawn
onto a stone; and stencil printing, where the design is cut
out and printed by spraying paint or ink through the
stencil. The history of printmaking parallels the history of
art and is one of the oldest art forms.
Limited Edition
generally carries a sense of urgency. In many cases items
made in limited number have different production
philosophy than products made in unlimited quantities.
Items marked thus are often (but not always) released for a
shorter time and in lower quantity than the "regular" ones,
often with a running number (e.g. "13055 of 20000")
printed on the products to boost the rarity feel, as the
company implies not to manufacture more (occasionally
they have been known to break the promise). Such versions
generally do not offer much in way of actual new material,
but are often packaged in a more complex or more
attractive way.
Open Edition
open edition art print's
consisting of the production of images, usually on paper
but occasionally on fabric, parchment, plastic, or other
support, by various techniques of multiplication, under the
direct supervision of or by the hand of the artist. Such fine
prints are considered original works of art, even though
they can exist in multiple copies. The major techniques are
relief printing, where the background is cut away, leaving a
raised image; intaglio printing, where the image is incised
directly into the plate; surface printing such as lithography,
where the image is painted or drawn onto a stone; and
stencil printing, where the design is cut out and printed by
spraying paint or ink through the stencil. The history of
printmaking parallels the history of art and is one of the
oldest art forms.
lithography
A printing technology that dates back to 1798 when Alois
Senenfelder developed a method of imaging limestone from
which a print was produced. Based on the principle that oil
and water do not mix, an aluminum or plastic plate is
coated with a photopolymer film that is exposed to light
through a photographic mask. The exposed areas are
chemically "hardened," and the unexposed areas are
dissolved when the plate is put through a chemical process,
which is the next stage. When printing a page, the plate is
dampened, and the water adheres only to the unexposed,
non-image areas, which repell the greasy ink that is applied
to the plate immediately thereafter.
The most common lithographic printing uses the offset
method, in which the ink is "offset" onto a rubber-coated
cylinder that is pressed against the paper.
offset press
A printer that uses an intermediate rubber-coated cylinder
known as a "blanket" to transfer the image onto the paper.
Instead of transferring the image from a metallic drum onto
paper as is done with most digital printers, the image is
"offset" onto the blanket and then to paper. The blanket
creates a smoother image on most types of paper and can
print on rough or heavy stock as well as other media. Most
offset presses use this lithographic method.
intaglio
Engraved or incised work on gemstones, glass, ceramics,
stone, or similar material in which the design is sunk
beneath the surface, the opposite of cameo and relief. It is
the most ancient form of gem engraving; the earliest known
Babylonian cylinder seals date from c. 4000 BC. The term
intaglio is also used to describe printmaking processes in
which the design is cut, scratched, or etched into a printing
surface of copper, zinc, or aluminum; ink is then rubbed
into the incisions or grooves, the surface is wiped clean,
and the paper is embossed into the incised lines with
pressure from a roller press. Intaglio processes are the most
versatile of printmaking methods, as they can produce a
wide range of effects.
woodcut or woodblock
Design printed from a plank of wood incised parallel to the
vertical axis of the wood's grain. One of the oldest methods
of making prints, it was used in China to decorate textiles
from the 5th century. Printing from wood blocks on
textiles was known in Europe from the early 14th century
but developed little until paper began to be manufactured in
France and Germany at the end of the 14th century. In the
early 15th century, religious images and playing cards were
first made from wood blocks. Black-line woodcut reached
its greatest perfection in the 16th century with Albrecht
Dürer and his followers. In the late 19th and early 20th
centuries, artists such as Edvard Munch, Paul Gauguin, and
the German Expressionists rediscovered the expressive
potential of woodcuts. Woodcuts have played an important
role in the history of Japanese art (see ukiyo-e).
linoleum block printing
or linocut, 20th-century development in the art of relief
cuts. The linoleum block consists of a thin layer of linoleum
mounted on wood; in this the design to be printed is cut in
the same manner as for a woodcut. The advantage of
linoleum cuts lies in the softness of the material and the
consequent ease with which it can be cut, but linoleum is
not so suitable for fine lines as wood, nor can as many
prints be produced. The process has been used widely in
textile printing and in grade-school art classes. It is
especially suitable for bold, decorative designs. Matisse's
linocut illustrations for Montherlant's Pasiphaë (1944)
show great sensitivity of handling.
