What You Need To Know About Collecting Giclee Prints For Sale

By Janine Hughes


The art world can be overwhelming if you have little to no experience with it. Many people want to be able to add pieces to their home but the cost can seem like too much for some budgets. One way to start expanding any art collection is by looking for giclee prints for sale. These beautiful pieces can liven up a home or office without involving a large monetary investment. Here is how to find pieces that will work for you.

This kind of print is made with a special ink jet printer. They are usually very large so that extremely large reproductions can be made. They also use special inks that will not fade or change color when they are exposed to light. This is important because you want to make sure that your piece will not be affected when you hang it in your home or office.

Many reproductions are made on paper but with these reproductions, it is possible to print onto canvas. Many manufacturers will do this and then stretch the canvas like the original painting. It is a nice option because you can then frame it much like you would an original. It can help you end up with a very quality product that will look great too.

An art buyer will want to make sure that any reproductions they buy are of high quality. The problem is that there are few to any rules regulating this industry. This means that reproductions can vary wildly in quality. Its no wonder that art buyers who are purchasing reproductions tend to go straight to individual artists or deal with established galleries when buying prints.

Many people want to find pieces that have investment value. This can be easier to do with originals. This is because a piece's value is often determined by its rarity. Looking for numbered giclees and prints that are signed by the artist can help you build some value into your art collection.

If you decide you want these types of reproductions, the next step is shopping. You can find reproductions in art galleries, stores and online as well. Buying online will mean that you cannot inspect a piece. In that case, checking reviews on the site itself may help you steer clear of inferior prints.

Looking at other aspects of your life can help you pick great pieces. You need to remember that art appreciation is a very personal thing. What you love may not be to someone else's taste. By making sure it ties in with other aspects of your style you can be confident that you are creating a unified and beautiful space.

Taking the time to research your options before you buy will likely help you get the best deal. It will also mean you have a higher chance of getting quality pieces that you can enjoy for many years.
