Giclée Reproductions
Giclée prints are the blending of fine art and state-of-the-art technology. Printed on the highest quality archival paper and guaranteed for 100 plus years, giclées have all the continuous tone characteristics, colour saturation and detail of the original artwork.
A series of proofs is printed (not unlike the proofing process used in other printmaking techniques) until the final satisfactory proof is created. This final proof - the bon-a-tirer proof - is then signed by the artist.
The word “giclée” is French from the verb “gicler” which means “to splatter” or “to project”. Controlled by the computer and the final proof file, the giclée printer projects the inks onto the paper to create the giclée print.
Be assured that you are buying a museum-quality print. Major museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum, the British Museum, the National Museum of Art to name a few, have exhibited giclée art. Furthermore, the Smithsonian Institution will be using the giclée technique to reproduce many of its vintage photographs.
The use and promotion of the giclée technique by prominent museums worldwide has assured its success in the art world.
