Abstract art prints may be one of the more expensive art pieces that you will find for sale.
Each and every art print is considered as an original work of art. The prints may be created by drawing a composition on a metal or wooden plate, after which the image is transferred on paper by running through a press. The number of prints, also known as the edition created per plate is limited.
When looking at an art print you wish to buy, you can tell its print number in the edition, as well as the total number of prints there are in the edition by looking at the number written below the lower right angle of each print. 24 175 means you're about to buy the 24th print in the edition of 175 prints.
Another process by which art prints are done is by screen-printing, otherwise known as silk-screening or serigraphy. This technique was initially an industrial technology. In the 1930's, it was embraced by American graphic artists, and was further made famous in the 60's by Pop Artists like Andy Warhol.
Silk-screening or serigraphy is done by using a silkscreen stencil to create a sharp-edged single-color image. Because of this meticulous process of having a separate stencil for each and every color, not to mention the use of high-quality paper and high-quality ink, art prints can be quite expensive.
However, considering the quality of art that you can have - the bold images, the vivid colors - it's all going to be worth it, especially if you opt for abstract art prints. As it is, abstracts are known for its rich vibrant colors. Coupled with the techniques mentioned above, you're definitely in for one artistic treat.
