WHAT'S 52 PRINTS ALL ABOUT?
52 Prints is an offshoot of 52 Pieces, the weekly art auction site. 52 Prints gives you hot-off-the-press limited edition prints of the original paintings featured on 52 Pieces. We developed 52 Prints as a way to make fine artwork affordable, so you can decorate your home, office, or dorm room... or give the gift of art! You can have any print gift-wrapped and sent with a card upon checkout.
WHO'S BEHIND 52 PRINTS?
Hana-Maui artist Renee Coates creates the artwork and supervises the giclee printing process. You can read her bio here.
Andy Louis-Charles manages all the awesome business stuff, and keeps the genius ideas flowing.
WHY 52?
There are 52 weeks in a year, and from 2008-2009 Renee created a new painting every week.
HOW DOES THE PRICING WORK?
All prints come matted for $75. Occasionally unmatted prints go on sale, so sign up for our email newsletter to be alerted. Sale prints use a super-cool countdown cart with a scaling price model.... Print #1 is $1, Print #2 is $2, and so on.
HOW CAN I GET PRINT #1?
So you want to be an early bird! Sign up here for a nudge as soon as a new print goes on sale.
WHAT MAKES MY PRINT SO SPECIAL?
Regardless if you get Print #1 or #100, you get the same high-quality giclee print using archival pigment inks on watercolor paper. All prints are hand-numbered and signed by the artist, and come with a certificate of authenticity. Your print is part of a limited edition of 100, which means we'll never make more of that print in that size.
CAN I GET A LARGER SIZE PRINT?
Each image is available in several sizes. The size offered on 52prints.com is 7" x 7" on an 8.5" x 11" watercolor sheet, in an edition of 100.
Other sizes are available as large giclees on canvas, in limited editions of 52. Please click here for pricing info.
HOW CAN I GET AN ORIGINAL?
Email the artist for a list of available originals or to request a special commission piece.
HOW DOES SHIPPING WORK?
For single prints, it is $5 shipping within The Continental U.S. Hawaii/Alaska shipping is $7. International shipping is $12. For orders with multiple prints, each additional one adds $2 to the total shipping cost. Each image is printed individually, hand-signed, and numbered, so please allow around 5-7 days days to process your order. Prints are encased in protective sleeves and shipped in sturdy flat envelopes. Orders are sent by USPS.
WHAT'S YOUR RETURN POLICY?
Due to the delicate nature of fine artwork and the limited edition factor, all sales are final. Please email us with any questions before placing your order.
WHAT ABOUT FRAMING?
Both unmatted (8.5" x 11") prints and matted (11" x 14") prints fit into most standard size picture frames.
WHAT ABOUT COPYRIGHT?
All artwork is copyright of the artist Renee Coates, 2008. Copyright law states that copyright is not transferred to the buyers of either prints or original artworks. Please contact artist for permission to use the original artwork in any other re-print media.
