CE refers to "Collector's Edition" and may denote a limited number produced, often under the direct supervision of the artist. LE, or "Limited Edition" is also a common abbreviation used and indicates, as the label suggests, that a finite number of impressions were produced. In many cases, both CE and LE prints will be hand numbered to reveal how may impressions were created, and the specific number of the print in question. For example, "4/12" would imply that the print was the fourth print produced in a set of twelve.

As pertaining to art work what does stone signed mean or signed in the stone thank you?

When an artist prepares a work such as a lithograph from which multiple prints can be made, he or she will sometimes sign the work 'in the stone', that is, on the master prior to the printing process. Added authenticity and value are added when an artist signs a print with his name, usually in pencil, in the margin, after the printing process is complete, indicating which number the print is in the print run. Thus, if 100 images are printed and you are looking at the 35th image printed from the master, the artist will write 35/100. The first few images before the prints are numbered are usually retained by the artist and are marked A/P, without a number. An A/P, or a print which is numbered with a low number in the print run is considered more desirable than a later number. A genuine limited edition original print means that the master is defaced after the print run is complete to ensure that no further copies are made.


What would a signed and numbered print by Steven M Gardner be worth?

The value of the work is based on:# How many buyers are seeking his work # How many of his works are on the market # How much those buyers are willing to pay for the *print you have # And of course condition, quality are important*Okay let's define "print"I am going to assume you probably mean a reproduction of an original painting . A true "print" is not merely a reproduction (poster) but an original art work in and of itself created through a woodblock type process or similar.Do not believe sales people when they tell you they are selling "limited edition prints", when they are actually reproductions. Sales people are ignorant and they lie.A "signed and numbered print" (reproduction) is simply a glorified poster with a huge price tag. Another gimmick is to include a "certificate of authenticity" that proves the artist really did approve and sign the poster. Big deal.

When art dealers speak of a print in reference to a Lithograph they mean that the metal plate is what the Lithograph is printed from. Lithograph's are all prints technically, and the ones that are double signed by the artist are considered original prints.

What does Hand Signed Artist Print Mean?

Many artist have their original watercolor/oils or charcoal works lithographed into a numbered set (limited #). These are relatively inexpensive to the buyer, however, like a signed book from the auther, some artist will sign these limited numder and that increases the value of the print (dependent on the popularity of the artist). Some will sign a print that is not numbered, this will also increase the value. For autograph collectors these are great, but it is still wholely dependent on the artist rep and popularity. Hope this answered your question.

What is the value of your terry redlin golden retreat canvas print?

One just went for auction on a Canadian web-site for $450. Auction ended 8/29/11. I have seen them on art web-sites for $1,995 paper version not canvas, but you can ask anything you want still does not mean it's worth it. Real value is when they are signed and numbered release, which I believe the canvas ones are. I believe this print was only available to Ducks Unlimited and you had to get it at a local banquet, hence the higher value. Hope this helps.
