Edition and Provenance

Each GutterStars print is a unique, one-of-one artwork. Once collected, it is permanently retired from production. No additional fine art prints, editions, or artist's proofs of that image will ever be produced. The image may appear in books, exhibition catalogs, or other documentary publications related to the artist's work.

The Print

Each work is produced as a 22 × 28 inch archival pigment print on Canson Platine Fibre Rag, with an 18 × 24 inch image area and a signature two-inch white border. Printed to museum archival standards for exceptional tonal depth and longevity, every work is accompanied by a custom, hand-signed letterpress Certificate of Authenticity.
