BUYERS GUIDE & TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Authenticity:
All artwork available for sale are original pieces. They are all signed, numbered and dated on the front or back of the artwork. By the artist, or accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Some of our artists sign their prints and produce a label with all the information if their signature isn't visible. If we are selling a piece that doesn't have an existing artist certificate, the artist's signature on the piece as well as the invoice provided by the gallery upon purchase of the work is sufficient to confirm the authenticity of the work.

How the artworks appear on the website:
Works may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the works on our website or social media platforms are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colors and attributes accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colors and/or attributes accurately reflects the color and/or contours of the given work.
Dimensions or sizes:
The word image dimensions or size refers to the artwork. The word Sheet size refers to the size of the full image on the paper with the border. The word Border means the image is printed with a blank border. The word No border or Full bleed refers to when the image is printed to the edge of the paper without any edges.
What is and Archival Print:
Denotes a printmaking process incorporating refined particles of pigment that are resilient to the environmental factors that commonly degrade and erode dye molecules shortening the life of a print. We ensure that all the artists we represent print on the highest industry quality fine art printers using fully archival inkjet pigments on Hahnemuhle papers or any other archival paper available in the market. Some of our special edition prints are mounted on aluminum or Archival acid-free Mats and backings that help preserve the life of your print. Acid given off by poor quality mats is the chief culprit of paper breakdown and the fading of pigments. Archival mats and backing protect your employment by adding spaces in between the Plexiglass front and the print so they do not touch and cause damage. The acid-free backing keeps dirt and debris out of the frame.
What is a limited edition and artist's proof:
A limited-edition print shows that the photographer produced a fixed number of prints per size. Once all limited edition prints of a certain image are sold out, no more prints of that size are produced. They enhance the value and appreciation, they become desirable for collectors as supply is limited and they become few and hard to acquire.
Limited edition prints have a processing time of 7-10 days for production plus shipping time. If you need your order rushed, please contact us at: theartdesignprojectmiami@gmail.com
