W Editions is a fine art print publisher making hand-printed limited editions with emerging and early career artists.
How an Edition Gets Made
An edition always starts with the artist.
We do multiple studio visits with artists and once an artist makes it past the curatorial process, we invite them to produce an edition.
After thorough experimentation and planning, the work on a final edition begins either at the press or with supplies brought to the artist’s studio.
A matrix or series of matrices are made over the course of anywhere from a few weeks to a few months and in the end, a BAT is born.
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.
Step 02
Hand-Printed in New York City
Every layer in a print is pulled by hand. In addition to the traditional methods of printmaking, we keep up with the rapid changes in contemporary art and incorporate photographic techniques and new print technologies.
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 add it to your collection
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.
