Prints
Laudo Prenso prints are the culmination of a refined process that extends from capture to final presentation. Printing and mounting are treated with the same care as the creation of the image itself, ensuring each work is transformed into a physical object with clarity, depth, and permanence.
These are not simple reproductions; they are artworks in their own right, crafted to endure as fine art objects.
Editions & Authenticity
Open Editions
- Offered in smaller formats, providing a more accessible entry point.
- Available mounted or unmounted, signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
- Not numbered; may be acquired directly and shipped shortly after production.
Limited Editions
- Large-scale works produced in strictly limited runs (for example, editions of 5, 10, or 20).
- Each print is signed, numbered, and issued with a certificate of authenticity.
- Once an edition is complete, no further prints of that work, at that size and medium, are produced.
Bespoke Commissions (Edition 1 of 1)
- Singular works conceived and executed exclusively for a patron.
- Tailored to a specific space or created from a subject of personal or cultural significance.
- Permanently unique; no additional editions are ever produced.
Print Formats
- Unmounted Prints: Delivered rolled in archival protective tubing. Practical for shipping and storage, but require professional mounting on arrival.
- Mounted Prints: Permanently bonded to archival substrates, often face-mounted for stability and depth. Produced through specialized facilities and arranged in advance.
Handling & Installation
- Fragility: Oversized works, even on archival materials, can be vulnerable to bending or surface damage.
- Professional Handling: Installation should always be performed by qualified art handlers or framers.
- Shipping & Insurance: Custom crating, art freight, and insurance are typically required; costs are quoted in advance and borne by the purchaser.
Acquiring a Print
- Open Editions: Available for direct purchase, mounted or unmounted, with straightforward shipping.
- Limited Editions: Acquired through inquiry to confirm availability; production, documentation, and delivery follow.
- Bespoke Works: Begin with consultation; a proposal defines scope and medium, after which the piece is created and installed specifically for the patron.
An Enduring Work
Each Laudo Prenso print is designed to last for generations when cared for under proper conditions. By acquiring a print, the collector becomes a steward of both the object and the vision it represents.
