Editions by Frederick now offers high quality Giclée canvas art for the serious collector. Unlike other galleries, Editions by Frederick understands that in this new world of digital technology, the value of art can be compromised by flooding the market with a plethora of copies. The meaning of "original" seems to have been lost as galleries move towards volume reproduction. We have adopted a different model by limiting our Giclée reproductions to a very low run per image. In some cases, only one canvas is being produced in order to secure a high collector value for the piece. Each Giclée art canvas comes with a certificate of authenticity which is your certification that the amazing art you purchase today will continue to appreciate in value in the future. The art you buy through Editions by Frederick is produced with the highest quality materials and has the color fidelity and longevity of traditional art media. For more information on how these images are produced and why they are so valuable, please see "What is a Giclée?" below.

Please note that as the number of available editions dwindle, the price will be adjusted upwards accordingly should another edition be issued. In most cases, once an art piece has been sold, it is taken off the market for one to five years before the release of another edition is considered. Since the maximum run on these masterpieces is so unusually low (most galleries have runs between 200 and 400 editions) the value of any subsequently released editions will be substantially higher than the previous ones. Purchasing the first edition is the best investment as many consider it to be the "original" and is virtually guaranteed to at least double in value within a very short period.

The post production of this image has imparted a distinct oil paint feeling to the image that cannot be appreciated on the Internet. A viewing of the original canvas will reveal the quality and depth of color, as well as the rarity of the subject, that makes this image a "must have" for any serious collector.

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay", is an invented name for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing The term is often used instead of Inkjet in art shops. The word "giclée", from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print. Editions by Frederick has acquired the latest state of the art Epson K3 technology which has been specifically designed for the production of extremely high quality canvas art reproductions with a new eight color ink set that Epson says will stay colorfast for at least 100 years. Any art, even the oil canvases produced by the great masters, will deteriorate if exposed to the sun and elements. Some museums will not even allow flash photos because the ultraviolet light from the flashes can cause image deterioration over time. Our fine art reproduction technology is the best there is and so you can expect your Giclée to have the same longevity as the great masters fine art from years ago.
