Notes for the curious
A LITTLE PRINT KNOWLEDGE.
New to collecting, or deep down the rabbit hole? A few useful distinctions before your next discovery.
Ask the galleryWhat makes a screen print different?
A screen print is made by passing ink through a prepared mesh stencil onto the paper, usually one color at a time. The result depends on the inks, screens and paper selected for that particular edition. Check each listing for its stated printing method; not every art print is a screen print.
Regular edition, variant or artist proof?
A variant is an alternate version of a release, often using different colors, paper or materials. An artist proof (AP) belongs to a separately designated allocation. Neither “AP” nor a handwritten edition number automatically means a print is signed, better quality or in better condition. The individual listing should tell you what is documented.
An alternative poster or original film memorabilia?
Alternative movie posters reinterpret a film through an artist’s point of view. Original theatrical posters, lobby cards, programs and promotional materials are different collectible formats with their own release histories. Use each listing’s edition and release details to distinguish the piece you’re considering.
