Why Collecting Prints is a Great Way to Start

When I first started dating my now husband I had to learn how to speak to him about art. It is easy for professionals in the art world to get carried away with jargon that only a very specific audience understands. TA Editions was born in an attempt to shake down the barriers that keep most people from falling in love with art, and promote Latin American art.

The general perception is that getting involved in the art world is expensive. While many art works have reached unbelievable prices (unaffordable for pretty much anyone without a private jet), true collectors know that good art is not a synonym of expensive. In this concern, education is key. Developing a collecting practice is one of the best ways to learn about art. That is, just jumping into it.

All it takes is finding a place you trust–somewhere you can go to for advice–and, of course, an art work. TA Editions believes that collecting prints is a great way to start and continue building a collection. Prints are easy to understand (and therefore love) and are more affordable than almost any other medium in an artists portfolio. For example, TA Editions features exclusive art print editions by Rodolfo Morales (Mexican Master, 1925-2001) starting at USD $3,000 – comparable to an oil painting (slightly larger in size) valued at USD $40,000 by world leading auction house Christe’s. Buying original art prints can be as affordable as USD $100, and the sky is the limit.

How to Take Care of Your Prints

There are some factors you should take into consideration when dealing with paper prints:
1. Paper is sensitive to sunlight. We recommend that you consult a local framing company and request a glass that has UV protection. Think about how much sunlight the artwork will get when choosing a place to install your art work. Direct sunlight is not recommended. 
2. Humidity can also damage your art work. A conditioned room will always be best for prints.
