The definition of a unique object according to Wikipedia is "the uniqueness of an object such as a document, painting or photography." It emphasizes the "specificity and the increased value of the individual piece of art." Wikipedia has some problems with the explanation of the word "Edition" (at least in the German version). The term "unikatär" (which describes a kind of hybrid between a unique piece of art and an edition) is completely ignored by Wikimedia, although it relates more and more to the language and practice of the art scene and the art trade. Dieter Roth and Gerhard Richter, for example, have often intervened manually in the production of their graphic editions or multiples - thus creating unique works of art, quasi editions with unique character. For all variants of editions the rule is: the smaller the edition the more rare and usually the more valuable is the work.
Certainly, to offer good, or at best, great and important art for beginners and young collectors at affordable prices, is not unique. The publication "Texte zur Kunst" for example has offered editions for a unit price of 245 euros for many years. These have almost always been worthy of collecting. However, usually it has been an edition of 100, if they offer "young art" they take editions of 50 or 20. Our ambition is to exhibit art works with an edition of not more than 10, as "unikatäre" editions or unique works. The unique artworks cost 200 euros and the editions 150 euros. There are exceptions to this rule however as sometimes the high production costs dictate this - such as in the enamelled badge "My comfort" by French artist duo "Société Réaliste ". I'm sure the results of putting together this show will be impressive and of a high standard.
