Esportsgallery.com sells lithographs, serigraphs, giclees, artists' proofs,
and originals. Here is a quick guide to help distinguish each type of piece:

Originals
Originals are just that: the original! Whichever medium an artist chooses
to use with an original, one-of-a-kind painting or sketch.

Artist Proof's (AP)
An artist proof (AP) is physically the same thing as a signed and numbered
print. The artist and publisher inspect for quality control and approval.
Why is an Artist Proof worth more? For the simple fact that the edition is
much smaller than the signed and numbered one. Supply and demand
dictates a tighter market for artist proofs. A serigraph is a fine art print.
Also known as a silk-screen or screenprint. "Seri" from the Latin means
silk, and "graph" means to draw or write. Each color (from one to hundreds)
is added to the paper or canvas individually as it is pressed through silk
stencils (or a man-made simulation) with a squeegee. Serigraphs are usually
identified by the expanses of flat or evenly graded color. The color is a
uniform layer of pigment coating the paper or canvas. This is a painstaking
process and usually results in small editions. A single print may take as many
as 25 days to complete. Many experts feel this method holds true to the
original. This, coupled with the fact that this process takes so much longer,
usually means these prints retail at a higher value than a lithograph.

Giclee
The term "giclée" (pronounced zhee-clay) from its French origin, means
"to spray". This high-end reproduction process was initially developed and
made popular for the reproduction of photography. Special "ink sets" comprise
the colors that are digitally sprayed through tiny jets onto the paper or canvas,
which is wrapped on a drum. The advantages of this process are its accuracy
unnoticeable time. Giclees offer unparalleled quality, longevity and the
desirability of printing-on-demand. Whether producing an original, enhancing
an image or reproducing original art, the Giclée process will render an image
of exceptional clarity. Giclée prints will exceed your greatest expectations.

Lithograph
In the lithograph process a photograph is taken of an original painting.
Then it is reproduced with an offset lithographprinting press.
These quality presses can get very close to the original colors in a painting.
At Esportsgallery.com we only sell limited edition lithographs.
