An edition is a limited run of a particular piece of artwork. Giclée prints of the art and photography offered for sale on theartgallows.com are available exclusively through us.
Giclée (zhee-clay), derived from a French word that means “to spray,” refers to the fine art Iris printing process invented in the early 1990s. Capable of rendering images that have an apparent visual resolution of 1800 dots per inch, the prints are rich and saturated, having the ability to render the finest detail. It is the ideal method of reproduction for art and photography since it can create the look and feel of the original. The quality is not detracted by a noticeable halftone or uneven ink buildup.
Each print comes with a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Using Certificates, rather than having the prints directly signed, minimizes the handling of the actual prints to guard against possible damage.
Our small prints are put in protective sleeves and shipped in sturdy cardboard envelopes. Larger prints are usually shipped in tubes. Want your larger prints shipped flat? We can do it! (Additional handling fees may apply.) See our shipping Information page for additional details about our policies.
In the unfortunate event that a print is damaged, keep in mind that it's the buyer's responsibility to follow-up on and file the insurance claim.
We split profits with artist minus production and administrative costs.
All rights are controlled by the artists who created the prints. Note that copyright law states that copyright is not transferred to the buyers of either prints or original artworks.
There are a few things that happen which affect the inventory numbers: The most common occurrence is that someone presses buy, but doesn't close the deal. The item is removed from inventory 'til their session expires. After an allotted amount of time, it's put back in the pool. Occasionally people change their orders and/or make an error in ordering. For instance, prints can become unexpectedly available after someone had inadvertently placed duplicate orders. Once the orders are credited, the prints go back into the pool.
As evidenced by our explanation above, managing the inventory is tough balancing act. We work our best tech magic to make sure that things don't oversell, but it will still happen occasionally.
Limited editions means we can't produce extra prints, so we send those collectors refunds instead, along with our sincere apologies.
We work hard to ensure fidelity between the images you see online and our published prints, but the tonal range of paper is often a bit different that what you see on screen depending on the particular image. Additionally we best fit images on standard paper sizes which means that most images will have a white border which might change your perception of the image.
All sales are final, so please consider very carefully before clicking the buy button!
Occasionally, we will skip a week between editions, but this is not a common occurrence.
