Original Fine Art Prints. Hand-Pulled in New York
W Editions collaborates with emerging and early-career artists to publish limited-edition prints: silkscreen, lithography, etching, and woodblocks.
How an Edition Gets Made
Every edition starts with a conversation and ends with a physical object. We may specialize in prints specifically, but that doesn’t mean we’re always going to be publishing prints. The process is the same whether it’s a print, a sculpture, or a random object that gets editioned.
Step 01
Artist Collaboration
We work one-on-one with emerging artists to develop each edition — sometimes introducing them to a new medium, sometimes going deep on one they already love. A print can be silkscreen, lithography, etching, woodblock, or any combination of the processes. The technique follows the work, never the other way around, and if we can’t do it in house, we look for the best contract printers who can do it for us :)
Step 02
Hand-Printed in New York City
Every layer in a print is pulled by hand using techniques that predate the internet by several centuries mixed with some modern technologies so we can keep up with the rapid changes in contemporary art like the use of photographic materials and new print techs.
We don’t (exclusively) use inkjet printers, no “giclée” printing here, no laser prints because there are other places that specialize in that.
Step 03
Signed & Published
Every print is numbered, signed, and fully documented. Then the plate, screen, or block is cancelled — destroyed, archived, never used again.
What you collect is the only version that will ever exist.
Step 04
You buy it.
Now it’s your turn in the process! You get to own a little piece of fine art that is both affordable and directly supports artists at a critical growth point in their careers.
