Open edition reproductions are images that most people can afford. The original images are obtained from artists by publishing companies who then reproduce the images and market to the art industry. The images are photo-mechanically reproduced, utilizing four-color lithography. There are no restrictions as to the number of copies that will be made. This is called an open edition. So, you may see the images used in many ways in the marketplace. Companies who produce framed art for sale in retail stores, internet sources, etc. purchase open edition art.
