Buying images
Welcome to Peterson Galleries. We're glad you're here and hope you're enjoying the visit. But what about the images, are they for sale and how much?
Yes most of the images are for sale, though there are some exceptions.
My goal is to get my art into your life; that's where my bliss resides in offering prints.
All the
distinctions will be easily accessible as the work goes forward on the
galleries, but for now please-please ask. ~ASK~ We
know it's an inconvenience, but we hope you'll not let that spoil the chance
for one of the images to come live with you. It was a choice between
holding back the site opening until all was complete or not, so we chose to open during construction.
PRINTS ~ Limited Edition: Images in the *Skipjack
Sunday gallery, the Digital Art gallery, Allure and Waterfront are available in several forms of print. Most are
offered as fine art, limited edition, signed and numbered prints.
Price varies with size, issue number and type of media. Only the best
printing media is offered, printed in our west coast fine art specialty
lab, tuned specifically to the needs of gallery and museum images.
Fuji Crystal Archival papers are the choice for glossy, matte, pearl and super gloss printing. Museum quality canvas and canvas wraps are offered as well as appropriate images on surfaces like Museo Silver Rag or Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 and other artists papers. We'll gladly offer our opinion for surface on every image you may be interested in. There's even a special choice of canvas wrap we've found for a client, that's waterproof yet still archival; she wanted to display on a covered patio/porch area. All prints are of archival quality--100 years and beyond.
*The Skipjack Sunday Gallery, has a complete and separate gallery of its own at www.skipjacksunday.com, complete with prices and order pages.
o PRICE please: Yes it's
going to depend, but using a Limited Edition 16 x 20 Fuji Chrystal Archive
print in matte, glossy, or even pearl as example, you can expect an average of $250
to $500. Matting and mounting, if desired, could add $40 to $80 as a 16 x
20 in a 20 x 24 matte.
o SuperGloss prints: When nothing else will display as well, in our example, would average from $275 to $550.
o Watercolor or flat canvas treatment with 20" as the long edge, $300 to $600.
o Canvas Wrap on 1.5 inch frame treated and hanger installed (no frame or matte needed), and Specialty treatments like Face Mount Acrylic 1/4" and Aluminum Sheet mounted prints with 20" as the long edge, from $385 to $725.
PRINTS
~ Open Edition: In
an effort to make images as accessible as possible price wise, a good deal of
the gallery images are allocated as "open edition". Unlimited numbers
of the image may be printed; additionally a limited number of signed copies of
that same image may be offered at premium over the standard issue print
for those that desire them. Hopefully this provides a middle ground
for the collector between our open and limited edition works. For me, images are
each valued separately influenced by style, uniqueness and physical factors of
size and treatment--even the difficulty or perfection of execution come into
play. But the goal is constant, I truly do take joy in your
including my work in your life.
o PRICE please. Once again there will be a range. Let's use our 16 x 20 Crystal Archive print in matte again for this example in open edition and expect an average between $150 to $300 unsigned. A limited number of signed copies may be available for a $75 premium.
o SuperGloss prints in our example, would average from $175 to $350.
o Watercolor or flat canvas treatment with 20" as the long edge, $200 to $400.
o Canvas Wrap on 1.5 inch frame as above, and Specialty treatments like Face Mount Acrylic 1/4" and Aluminum Sheet mounted prints with 20" as the long edge, from $285 to $525.
