These collectible artworks represent a specific category of reproductions derived from original creations by the artist Annie Lee. The term denotes a finite number of impressions made, often signed and numbered by the artist, thereby establishing a degree of exclusivity and collectibility. For example, a print marked “1/500” signifies it is the first print out of a limited run of 500.
The significance of these items lies in their ability to offer access to an artist’s work at a price point more attainable than original paintings. Their value is influenced by several factors including the artist’s recognition, the size of the edition, the condition of the print, and the demand within the art market. Historically, limited edition prints have provided a crucial avenue for artists to broaden their audience and for collectors to begin or expand their art holdings.
