What is the difference between “open edition” and “limited edition” prints?
Open edition prints are manufactured in quantities and will usually be available in the future. Limited edition prints are printed in a pre-determined number of prints and after that number is printed, the original wood block, for example, is destroyed and no more prints are made from it. These limited edition pieces of art are usually signed or initialed by the artists, dated, and numbered (3/100, for example, would mean that a particular print is the third one that was printed out of a series limited to 100 prints).
