Building an art collection can be daunting for amateur art collectors, especially if they have an eye on masterpieces by revered artists such as M.F Husain, S.H. Raza, Akbar Padamsee etc. These artworks are astronomically priced, placing them beyond the reach of many.
Limited Edition Prints are an affordable way to own exquisite works of art by eminent, and expensive, artists. These are a series of identical prints of an artwork commissioned by the artist and are limited to a one-time printing of a certain number of pieces. Each print is numbered and signed by the artist, thereby establishing its authenticity. Because the number of prints is limited, signed prints of acclaimed artists hold value and are investment-worthy just like original works of art. Christie’s and Sotheby’s – the world’s most renowned auction houses – even hold exclusive auctions for art prints; a print of a Pablo Picasso artwork sold for US$1.7 million in 2010!
There are different techniques in printmaking, the most sophisticated of which, is serigraphy, or silk screen printing. In this process, thick, opaque colours are passed through the screen, creating prints with vibrant colours and beautiful textures, that make the artwork look just like a painting! Limited edition prints are a great way for acclaimed artists to make their art available to a larger number of people, and they enjoy popularity amongst new art buyers and seasoned art collectors alike.
At Artisera, you can find a curated range of signed, limited edition prints and serigraphs (silk-screen printing) by some of India’s most acclaimed artists such as MF Husain, SH Raza, Jogen Chowdhury, Anjolie Ela Menon, Jehangir Sabavala, Thota Vaikuntam and many others.
