Re: Limited Editions

2004-05-22 by Tom Andrews

Hi Richard,

It would only be ethical to produce a new limited edition of the same photo in 
a different size, IF you had let every buyer of your 1st limited edition know 
that this was what you planned to do AND if you spelled this out in your 
Certificate of Authenticity - IMHO.   An edition of 20-25 is a fine number if you 
are going to be selling your work for a good price in a high-end gallery.  So 
would 25-60.  If you are selling a popular image at art fairs, however, you will 
run out fast at this number.  If you haven't sold any of your editioned work 
yet, you may want to rethink this number for specific images.  There has been 
a lot of discussion on limited editions on this and many other related forums.  
Search more.  Cheers,

Tom Andrews
