Welcome to Printed Editions – where fine prints are not overlooked.
Strange, isn’t it? Picasso made more prints than paintings. Hockney said printmaking was the medium he understood best. Warhol built a practice around it. And yet most people walk straight past fine art prints without a second glance. Not here.
Original prints. Look closer.
Discover and search
New to collecting? Start wherever feels right – there’s no wrong door in. Every print here has been chosen and verified by a gallery that knows the work, so you can explore freely without needing to be an expert yet.
Know exactly what you’re after? Search by artist or print name – the full catalogue is one click away. But keep an eye out: our galleries surface work you won’t find through a keyword – a printmaker your dealer hasn’t mentioned yet, an edition easy to miss in search but impossible to miss once you’ve seen it.
Search when you know. Browse when you don’t. Either way, you’re in good company – 120+ galleries’ worth.
An appetizer of three prints
Robert Fontaine Gallery
Stabiles (1970)
Alexander Calder
One way to see this print …
Calder’s Stabiles stacks bold, chevron-shaped forms in red, blue, black, and yellow into a playful, wing-like arrangement against a plain cream ground.
Graphicstudio
Ravenna in November (1989)
Jim Dine
One way to see this print …
Dine’s Ravenna in November renders a gnarled, leafy tree in rich black ink against a washy, weathered blue ground, its texture as expressive as the subject itself.
Annex Galleries
The Kitchen (1858)
James Abbott McNeill Whistler
One way to see this print …
Whistler’s The Kitchen captures a shadowy domestic interior in dense, atmospheric crosshatching, a lone silhouetted figure at work amid pots, shelves, and streaming window light.
Never bought a print before?
Good. That means you haven’t made any mistakes yet. It can be daunting. Where to start?
Here’s what we’d tell you if you walked into one of our galleries today:
A fine print is not a compromise. It is not the thing you buy when you can’t afford a painting. It is its own art form – with its own history, its own techniques, its own masters, and its own way of getting under your skin.
The best ones are affordable in a way that great art rarely is. The best ones are also genuinely rare – made in editions of ten, or twenty, or fifty, and then never again. You don’t need to know anything to start. You just need to look until something stops you.
Start here. We’ll help.
Why the gallery matters as much as the print
Anyone can list an image online. What Printed Editions offers is something different: direct access to the specialists who have spent years – sometimes decades – understanding exactly what they sell.
These are not stock-photo libraries. They are galleries with provenance, expertise, and relationships with the artists and studios whose work they represent. When you enquire about a print through Printed Editions, you are speaking to someone who can tell you how it was made, how many exist, what condition it’s in, and why it belongs in a collection.
That knowledge has a value that doesn’t show up in the price. But you’ll feel it the moment the print arrives.
Stop overlooking. Start looking …
