Glossary
- Original artwork
- A one-of-a-kind work created by the artist, as distinct from a print or reproduction. At the Expo, ask whether a painting, sculpture or work on paper is original and how it should be cared for.
- Giclee print
- A high-resolution inkjet fine art print, often made on cotton rag or other archival paper. Ask about paper type, edition size and whether the print is signed.
- Limited edition
- A print or reproduction run capped at a stated number, usually numbered and signed. Confirm the edition size and whether any artist proofs exist outside the numbered set.
- Artist proof
- A print kept by the artist outside the main numbered edition. It may be marked AP and can be priced differently from the numbered edition.
- Plein air
- Painting made outdoors from direct observation, often quickly to capture desert light and weather. Plein-air works may be framed wet or sold as studies.
- Mixed media
- An artwork that combines materials such as paint, paper, fabric, collage or found objects. Ask about stability, framing and light exposure if you are buying for a sunny home.
- Commission
- A custom artwork made to a buyer's brief, size and palette. At an art fair, agree the timeline, deposit, approval stages and shipping in writing.
- Conservation framing
- Framing with acid-free mats, archival backing and UV-filtering glazing to slow deterioration. It matters in Arizona because strong daylight can fade works on paper.
- Provenance
- The documented ownership and exhibition history of an artwork. For higher-value purchases, ask for a receipt, certificate of authenticity and any prior exhibition records.
- Certificate of authenticity
- A document, ideally signed by the artist or gallery, that identifies the work, medium, dimensions and edition where relevant. Keep it with your purchase receipt and insurance records.
