editions&legal requirements

2002-11-20 by Alan Zinn

Guys,
Regarding yada yada about editions,  here is a URL that may be of 
interest:

http://www.tfaoi.com/articles/andres/aa4.htm

I know of photographers who make a living selling editions and do not 
print entire editions at once. I never heard of that being a big deal
as long as the prints are of good quality. In my own experience with 
dealers wanting to limit my production to a fixed edition with 
escalating prices, etc. Nothing was mentioned about printing all at 
once. The profesional practices of art printmakers often involves a 
collaboration of artist, printer, and sometimes publisher. There is 
no reason I know of that individual photographers should be bound to 
their business practice.  The only ethical requirment is that the 
stated number, or less, of reasionably identical prints are made.
