Introduction to Editions – SAM Help Centre

Editions are duplicates of an artwork, such as prints, photographs, or sculptures. They are catalogued in multiples as a set or group.

Editions enable broader distribution and more accessible pricing, making art more accessible to a wider audience.

There are a few key aspects to understand about editions in SAM:

Edition Records: These are used to document each edition of an artwork, including details such as size, medium, and number of copies.
Edition Management: This involves tracking the production, sale, and ownership of each edition to ensure transparency and accuracy.
Certificates of Authenticity: These are issued with each edition to verify its legitimacy and support the artist’s reputation.
