An Art Buyer's Guide To Purchasing Giclee Prints For Sale

By Janine Hughes


The art world can be overwhelming if you have little to no experience with it. Many people want to be able to add pieces to their home but the cost can seem like too much for some budgets. One way to start expanding any art collection is by looking for giclee prints for sale. These beautiful pieces can liven up a home or office without involving a large monetary investment. Here is how to find pieces that will work for you.

This kind of print is made with a special ink jet printer. They are usually very large so that extremely large reproductions can be made. They also use special inks that will not fade or change color when they are exposed to light. This is important because you want to make sure that your piece will not be affected when you hang it in your home or office.

Unlike some reproductions that can only be made on paper, these prints can also be made onto canvas. This is a great option because it can then be stretched and framed like a painting would be. It can help keep a reproduction looking very much like the original would look. Keep in mind though that some pieces will not look right on canvas.

Looking at the reproductions in person can be a great way to check their quality. It can be easier to do this if they are not already framed. Being able to compare a piece with the original is also very helpful. You may want to make sure that the colors are very true to the original and that the print has the same crispness and appearance that the original version has. If you are looking for a piece that will be stretched, make sure that the wood used to do so is thick and durable and will not warp or bend when it has the canvas added on to it.

You need to keep in mind that quality reproductions may have value but they rarely have the same value as originals would. If you want to purchase reproductions that keep their value, look for ones with paperwork attached. This will usually state that a piece is numbered or has been produced in limited numbers. Signed pieces will also be more valuable than unsigned pieces. Buying reproductions from art dealers rather than from department stores can also help you build some value into your collection.

If you decide you want these types of reproductions, the next step is shopping. You can find reproductions in art galleries, stores and online as well. Buying online will mean that you cannot inspect a piece. In that case, checking reviews on the site itself may help you steer clear of inferior prints.

Looking at other aspects of your life can help you pick great pieces. You need to remember that art appreciation is a very personal thing. What you love may not be to someone else's taste. By making sure it ties in with other aspects of your style you can be confident that you are creating a unified and beautiful space.

Taking the time to research your options before you buy will likely help you get the best deal. It will also mean you have a higher chance of getting quality pieces that you can enjoy for many years.
