[Digital BW] Re: Inkjet prints and galleries

2002-05-06 by rikeller

It seems to me that an important piece to this discussion that has 
been ignored is that the rarity, or whatever you want to call it, 
that exists in the "traditional" silver print is, to a large degree, 
an artificial scarcity. It is created through the editioning of 
prints - essentially a promise by the artist (or dealer) to the 
collector to limit production of a piece, regardless of demand, hence 
creating value. 

There is no reason why the same market dynamics cannot apply to 
inkjet prints.
