What is
a Giclée?
Giclée
(pronounced zhee-clay), a French term meaning "spray of ink", is a process
that utilizes the IRIS printer, the most sophisticated digital printer for
fine art to date. Pushing the leading edge of art printmaking, digital
printmaking has earned its reputation as one of the most creative mediums
available to today's working artists. Its capabilities of range and
responsiveness are virtually unparalleled in the fine art world. The
prints it produces are well known for their color density, saturation and
brilliance.
The concept of "edition" is basic to the world of serial art. A Limited Edition is defined as a high quality reproduction of an original work of art that are numbered and signed individually by the artist with the total number of the reproduction given (i.e. 5/100). Once the edition is sold out (i.e. 100), no more limited edition prints of that image can be produced which is what can make the print valuable on the resale or "secondary market."
The Certificate of Authenticity gives authentic fine-art, the opportunity to distinguish their work from posters or reproductions. By offering the extensive information of the Certificate artists can guarantee the authenticity of their work. A proper Certificate of Authenticity is an additional value added to a fine-art print.
