“The Seasons of Life” by George Sakkal
Collecting art can be an art form in itself, with numerous options available, namely originals and prints. Among the various types of prints, giclee prints are the most sought after. Even so, one may wonder whether or not giclee prints are truly worth investing in. Here is why giclee prints are valuable and more on the fine art giclee prints of George Sakkal.
What Is a Giclee Print?
A giclee print is a digitally-produced version of a work of visual fine art. “Giclee” is French for “to spray” or “to squirt,” thus describing the nature of how giclee prints are made. Highly-specialized inkjet printers jet archival ink onto canvas or paper to create an accurate replica of the original piece. Giclee prints have a resolution of 300 dpi (dots per linear inch) and 12 ink colors, making for a highly-detailed image with an accurate depiction of color. After the printer applies the ink, an acrylic UV finish coats the top.
What Makes a Giclee Print Valuable?
A giclee print is museum-quality and will last forever. The nuance, accuracy, and high standards of giclee printing make it just as worthy to collect as an original work. Whether it is printed on paper or canvas, its archival quality ensures that all materials and processes that go into it are high value and precise to the original.
A limited edition giclee print is more valuable than an open edition print, since a limited quantity makes the item more scarce. The fewer there is of an item, the more valuable it becomes. Nevertheless, open edition prints are just as much works of art in themselves, availing themselves to anyone who wishes to have that artwork.
The benefit of open edition giclee prints is their availability to all; with today’s precise, computer-driven technology, one can enjoy museum-quality artwork without dealing with harsh bidding wars or battling to get the only piece available.
Another advantage is that you can choose between different artwork sizes. If you love one piece but need it to fit in a small or large space, you have options. This flexibility provided by giclee prints is a huge added bonus in an age of customization.
