Open and closed editions

The prints are available as open or closed editions.

Editions are classified as either 'limited' or 'unlimited' (also referred to as 'closed' or 'open'), based on whether the artist has set a specific number of copies ('limited'), which remains fixed, or if there are no restrictions on the number of copies ('unlimited'), allowing for additional prints to be made as desired. As there is no limit to the number of prints in an open edition, they are not numbered.

The number of prints in the closed editions varies depending on the artwork and size. Smaller sizes are typically limited to 30 copies. Larger sizes are produced in smaller quantities, such as 10, 5, or 3, and even 1 for an exceptionally rare edition.

Secure ARTcertificate by ARTtrust

For every genuine piece of art, ARTtrust provides an unforgeable certificate of authenticity. To achieve this, ARTtrust employs one of the most dependable security technologies: the Bubble Tag™. Each Bubble Tag™ is distinct and inherently resistant to replication, serving as a unique identifier for the safeguarded item.

Constructed from a transparent polymer, the Bubble Tag™ generates bubbles in entirely unpredictable patterns. These bubbles manifest with positions, sizes, and shapes that defy control. Consequently, every configuration of bubbles is not only unique but also impervious to reproduction, even by its original manufacturer. More about it: https://www.arttrustonline.com/artcertificate/secure/

Limited edition prints come with a Certificate of Authenticity provided by Sandra Pfeiffer Photography via Picto lab/ARTtrust technology. The Bubble Tag™ is included in the price as indicated in the store.

The care corner

Fine art photography holds significant value due to the skill involved in its creation.

Factors such as exposure to high temperatures, UV radiation, moisture, and airborne pollutants can all impact its preservation.
