Definitions of Terms Used in Our Catalog
**Original**
The term "Original" means that an artwork is not a copy. Original artworks are usually made by hand. However, "Original" does not have the same meaning as "Authentic."
**Authentic/By/Authenticated**
"Authentic" or "By" indicates that an artwork is by the artist named. These terms are used when there is historical documentation or full provenance.
- Examples: Authentic Andy Warhol; By Andy Warhol
"Authenticated" indicates that the artwork has been deemed authentic by a recognized authority or as the conclusion of scholarly research.
- Examples: Authenticated Andy Warhol; Andy Warhol, Authenticated
**Attributed/Attr.**
"Attributed" (Attr.) is used when there is a strong possibility that the artwork is by the artist whose name is on it, but there is no provenance or conclusive documentation to prove it. Further research by scholars or opinions of experts may confirm or conflict with this opinion. Attribution is not authentication.
- Examples: Famous Artist (1900-1999) Attributed; Famous Artist (1900-1999) Attr.
**In The Manner Of**
"In The Manner Of," or simply "Manner Of," qualifies an artwork that strongly resembles the work of a master artist. It is often used for artworks bearing the name of a famous artist but not believed to be by that artist's hand.
- Examples: Famous Artist (1900-1999) Manner Of; In The Manner Of Famous Artist….
**Attributed/In The Manner Of**
The term "Attributed/In The Manner Of" is used for artworks showing a significant possibility of authenticity, combined with an element of doubt. It is often used for works bearing the names of artists whose work has historically been subject to forgeries.
- Example: Famous Artist (1900-1999) Attributed/Manner Of
**After**
"After" is used in two ways:
1. To denote that the work is a copy of a known artwork by another artist.
2. To indicate that the artwork is a mechanically printed reproduction of an original artwork that exists in another medium. Sometimes reproductions are hand-signed by the artist.
- Examples: Famous Artist (1900-1999) After; After Famous Artist (1900-1999)…
**School Of / Follower Of**
"School Of" and "Follower Of" have similar meanings to "In The Manner Of." They suggest that the artwork is strongly influenced by the work of a master artist. Both terms are usually applied to unsigned works that cannot be attributed to the master artist.
- Examples: Famous Artist (1900-1999) School of; Follower of Famous Artist; Etc.
**Signature/Signed in the Plate**
"Signature" refers to a hand-written legible or identifiable mark attributed to an artist. "Signed in the plate" refers to a mechanically printed signature. Historically, the term comes from hand-made etching or engraving plates that contain the signature of the artists who created them. Contemporary use of the term also includes signatures in photo-mechanical and digitally made reproductions when the signature is not a hand-applied addition to a print.
**Provenance**
"Provenance" is an artwork's chain of ownership. "Full provenance" is a list of ownership from the time an artwork was created. "Broken provenance" is a partial list, with gaps in ownership. Artworks with broken provenance are listed as attributed.
**Limited Edition / Open Edition**
"Limited Edition" means that a documented, finite number of examples of an artwork were produced. Limited editions are often marked with the total number of examples, but some editions, especially older ones (pre-1900), may not be marked. Some common markings for an edition of 100 pieces may include: ed. 100 (edition of 100); 62/100 (the 62nd example from an edition of 100). These indications are usually hand-applied to the lower margin or hand-written on the image. Other terms may include: A.P. or E.A. (Artist's Proof); P.P. (Printer's Proof); H.C. (Hors Commerce = Sample, Not For Sale); B.A.T. (Bon a Tirer = Artist-approved print to be used by the printer as a guide when making an edition).
"Open Edition" means that there is an unknown number of examples, and, if the printing plates exist, more prints may be made in the future.
