Artwork Archive offers two different tools for managing multiples of your artwork: Editions and Runs/Reproductions. The right choice depends on whether you need to track individual pieces or just quantities.

An Edition in Artwork Archive is a set of numbered, substantially similar artworks created as professional multiples, created by or under the artist's supervision. This can include etchings, lithographs, fine art photography prints, bronze castings, etc.

Artists usually create Editions in small batches, often completing the entire process themselves. Each numbered piece within an Edition is substantially similar, though hand-made processes may result in variations between the individual pieces within the Edition run. This approach allows artists to produce multiple original works while maintaining the quality and uniqueness of each piece.

A Run/Reproduction in Artwork Archive is considered a copy or facsimile of the original work, usually created using photomechanical means. Runs/Reproductions are typically used for merchandise and commercial items where quantity tracking is more important than individual piece documentation.

Generally, a digital image is created of the work, which can then be used to reproduce the piece on various surfaces and in different sizes.

Examples of reproductions: posters, print as a service items such as cards, garments, stickers, mugs, etc.
