Artworks
How can I best care for my artwork?
For two-dimensional artworks, we recommend you frame your new purchase as soon as possible using UV-blocking Plexi or glass as well as conservation-grade mat and board.
What is a limited edition artwork?
ArtFind.ca offers an affordable and accessible way to build an art collection. ArtFind.ca artworks can vary in medium (from Prints of limited edition, Re marquees and Artists Proofs for example) and are produced at one time by the artist in a limited number. No additional artworks are ever produced beyond the determined edition number, which is why they remain valuable investment opportunities.
What is a print?
Printmaking is an umbrella term for a variety of fine art techniques that involve producing an artwork in multiples. These include various methods developed throughout the course of art history-from traditions such as etching, woodcut printing, and lithography to more recent advances like digital printing-all of which are derived from the same concept: the artist transfers an image of his or her own design from a source (a metal, wood, or stone plate, for example) to paper, fabric, or the like. Prints are produced in finite editions; no additional artworks are ever produced beyond the determined edition number, which is why they remain valuable investment opportunities.
