What is a serigraph?
A serigraph is a high-quality, limited edition silkscreen print.
What is the difference between an artist’s proof and a printer’s proof?
Artist’s proofs are prints outside of the numbered edition that are made expressly for the Artist’s collection. Printer’s proofs are usually prints in excess of the edition, but of similar quality set aside for the printers of the edition.
Can I get any print as a poster?
Not every Neiman image was printed in multiple media. The items on this website represent what we have from Neiman’s collection. If you have questions about whether we have something, please contact us.
What is a lithograph?
Lithographs are prints produced by a method of using etched metal plates and ink.
What does it mean if something is plate signed versus hand signed?
A plate signature means that the Artist’s signature was part of the original overall image produced as a print or poster. Hand signed signatures were done individually by the Artist after the prints or posters were completed. Usually the signatures on posters are in permanent ink, while the prints are hand signed in pencil.
What is a numbered piece?
A piece that is numbered has a unique number assigned to it within the edition at the time of signing. Numbers could be in the regular edition like 9/100 or in the Artists Proof edition like AP9/10. Numbers vary from edition to edition.
What does limited edition mean?
A limited edition print means there is a precise number of pieces made and there are none in existence besides what is in the run. The plates or screens used to create the print are destroyed to ensure that the size of the edition does not change.
