Reproduction Print Sales Impact Artists in a Big Way
The commercialization of the art business by big business is nowhere more evident than in the marketing of reproduction prints, particularly giclees (computer prints of digital files) by entities billing themselves as fine art publishing companies. These reproductions are typically advertised as signed limited edition "fine art" prints and can sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The great majority, however, are nothing more than computer printouts of scans or photographs of paintings, watercolors, or works of art in other mediums (as opposed to digital works of art created by digital artists entirely or in part on computers which ARE considered to be originals). Repro print artists usually have nothing to do with producing these editions, their only participation being signing their names which takes maybe thirty seconds or so per print at most. And that's supposed to be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars? No way. But the people hawking these reproductions sure want you to think so and sure manage to talk plenty of people believing it.

The Art of Business: Print Buying Made Simpler
The best way to avoid the unpleasant surprises of print buying is to spend a little time on the business side of the relationship before laying down the specs for the job.
If you ever get a chance, don't pass up the opportunity to attend a seminar or talk given by Dick Gorelick, president of Gorelick and Associates. Dick is a 25 year veteran of the industry both as a buyer and seller, and his firm surveys some 25,000 print buyers a year, so he's got a pulse on the print market like few others.
I had a chance to hear Dick speak recently on tips for buying printing services, and you could almost hear the "amens" muttered in the crowd. He has some tips worth passing on, though these thoughts are but a sampling of what he offers in his talks.

Making Giclee or Art Prints
Think about all the time and effort you put into a painting. And then the joy of selling it. Trouble is, when it is gone, it is gone. And you have to start all over again. Now imagine selling it over and over again, at a reduced price so that many others can share your work, with minimum effort and high long-term returns. That is what can happen if you make prints your paintings. The methods available today are very sophisticated, and easy, with minimum outlay.
Why should I buy an art or Giclee print rather than an original?

Practical Framing Tips
The first thing to know about framing is that it should make the art look good.
Good presentation enhances the art; bad presentation can kill it. Choices of presentation should provide a background that draws the observer's eye to the art, but should not overpower or compete with the art.

Framed and Fabulous
Start with the art. Then celbrate it, showcase it,
and make your walls sing.
Written by ELAINE ROGERS
With swirls of color and poignant images seemingly created out of thin air, paintings and even posters elicit emotions in powerful ways. And artwork that speaks to our heart urges us to place it where others can share.
"Art is an emotional purchase," says Suzanne Gallagher, founder of Walldesgndivea.com. " We buy it because we love it and respond to the color and how it makes us feel. And then we say, " Now what am I going to do with it?"
