What do the numbers next to the signature on my canvas giclée or fine art print mean?
Every reproduction, or print, of an original is created with a limited number of reproductions available. This is partially what gives a print (whether giclée or a paper print) its value. For example, if only 200 prints of a painting are going to be produced, each print gets its own number. So, if you bought one of the first prints produced in a new series, your giclée may be 4/200. Number 1 is considered the highest valued print, but often an artist offers the print at a higher price or not at all, as to keep it for him/herself.
