Bonus Episode 003: editions

Editions are the topic of this bonus episode. Ann and Ben talk about the ins and outs of editions: definitions, numbering, exceptions, the publisher-artist relationship. It's definitely not simple.

Yes, the first edition print is a silly thing. Also, as you mentioned, there are proofs throughout the process, so those would technically be first.

One thing on editioning, I also know several prominent printmakers (mostly intaglio), who do not finish the edition. As the printing process takes so long, the oeuvre of plates are kept. Each of them has a set number in the edition, but they are printed upon necessity (when purchased, for exhibition, etc.). A notebook is kept with detailed numbers of how many of which edition has been printed.
