PRINT GLOSSARY (PART B)

Artist's Proof
Artist's Proofs should be exactly the same as the edition in quality and image though they are outside the numbered edition. They are identified with "A.P." or "Artists Proof" on the impression. They are often retained by the artist or publisher.

CATALOGUE RAISONNE
A scholarly catalogue which should include all the known works by an artist at the time of publication. Essential information by which works are identified is included.

EDITION
Total number of prints pulled from one image and represents the largest body of work for sale from that image. These prints are consecutively numbered to show that the edition is limited by publisher or artist.
