In October of 2001, I came across this beautiful yacht, ‘America’, which was docked in Newport, RI. The significance of this find struck me as we were barely a month beyond the tragic events of 911. I was moved to paint it, but the Newport background just didn’t do it. I opted instead for a soft image of Lower Manhattan that included the Twin Towers which were no longer there. Remembering a time before our national psyche was so crushed, ‘Before’ was born. JRC
EXCLUSIVE TO SPITTING IMAGE GALLERY
Spitting Image Gallery’s curators work with artists from around the world and hand-pick every artwork we offer in order to provide you with an unmatched selection of limited edition prints.
ARCHIVAL PIGMENT PRINTS
The archival pigment printing process is a technique that provides an unsurpassed level of accuracy in fine art reproduction. Sometimes also referred to as a "gicleé", the prints are created from a digital scans or high resolution photographs of existing original works and are printed using a highly sophisticated and accurate printing technique with inks promising a 200+ year archival life.
LIMITED EDITION PRINTS
Artworks in a limited edition have a set number of prints available for each size offered. For example, if the edition is 100 in a 26” x 20” size, there can be no other prints made at that size of that image. Once all 100 prints in this edition size have sold out, there will be no other prints of this image, at this size, produced. Limited edition prints of this artwork may be available in other sizes.
WHAT LIMITED EDITION NUMBERING MEANS
A limited edition print that recites the number 5/50 means that the buyer is purchasing the fifth published print in a maximum print edition of 50 total prints (plus any proofs) of a specified size and dimension based upon a high resolution digital image of the artist’s original work of art. The Certificate of Authenticity tells the buyer if more than one edition has been published from the original image. For example, a print numbered 5/50 in a limited edition of 50 could be sold measuring 12" x 24" and another print numbered 5/25 in a limited edition of 25 could be sold measuring 24" x 36".
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
All limited edition prints are accompanied by a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity which certifies that the "information and statements contained therein are true and correct.” Spitting Image Gallery has assigned a number to this print which will be printed on the Certificate of Authenticity and also on the back of the print in ultraviolet ink for an extra level of protection. All Spitting Image Gallery prints will contain an embossed “chop” in the border of the image. These efforts are made to ensure that the authenticity of your artwork will remain unchallenged.
LEGAL DISCLOSURE
The term "limited edition" has various meanings depending upon the artist, publisher, distributor and seller (or reseller). Spitting Image Gallery uses the term "limited edition prints" to denote two dimensional art prints available through a pre-publication license agreement between the artist and Spitting Image Gallery and sold pursuant to an exclusive prints publication arrangement. The image for any limited edition print may, in certain circumstances, be licensed by the artist for reproduction on other consumer products, such as phone cases, apparel and other home décor accents.
