About

The Archive is Limited aims to bring detailed information to the public about multiples, prints, artist’s books, vinyls, DVDs and films in order to be able to compare not only qualities and prices, but also to use the site as a historical archive describing the artist’s attitude and development during his, her or their career. For this, sold items have not been removed.

The Archive is Limited brings works together, either signed or unsigned as indicated, that are authorized by the artists involved or have been produced during their lifetime. The latter refers to editions being archived as authentic works that are considerate to have been indirectly ratified by or made with the consent of the artist, since apparently no legal forces prevented to have the offered items for sale.

The Archive is Limited aims to comment in short what each edition is about.

Description

  • The condition of each item is shown in the images. Also items are described in words. Such a verbal language is subjective, but it may help to add essential information to the visual language shown in the pictures. Our aim is to be as precise as possible and therefore a vocabulary has been added to the legenda that starts from used to mint:
    – used
    – fine
    – good
    – very good
    – excellent
    – splendid
    – mint or pristine
