Giclee limited edition prints
|
Purchasing Giclee prints is a wonderful way to collect museum quality artwork. These
high quality prints have exceptional depth of color and are photo-like reproductions of
original paintings. The prints can be in limited editions or open editions.
High quality Giclee print images are produced from digital scans and printed with
archival quality inks onto substrates of various types -- typically, high quality
watercolor papers and canvas. The fine art printmaking process uses minute droplets
of archival ink to create prints that cannot be duplicated by other printing techniques.
Because there is no visible dot screen pattern the resulting image has all of the subtle
tonalities of the original art -- and results in the exceptional museum quality prints.
Giclee has become the choice for professional artists wanting to produce their artwork
in limited quantities. Giclee prints have much higher archival properties than
traditional lithography prints. Giclee, translated from the French is a "spraying", or
"squirting", of ink. It is also often referred to as "Iris" printing since many of the high
quality ink jet printers are manufactured by the Iris Graphics company in
Massachussets.
Many museums now include Iris Giclee prints in their collections. Some of these
museums include The British Museum, The Metropolitan Museum New York, Los
Angeles County Museum, Museum of Modern Art New York, and the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art. Renowned Giclee artists include Andrew and Jamie Wyeth,
David Hockney and Robert Rauschenberg.
