01 什麼是有版數的版畫 (LIMITED EDITION)？
版畫最大的特色就是具有複製性，質感及數量依據每位藝術家所使用的版畫技術而有所不同。
Limited Edition表示每件版畫作品都有一定的數量，有些作品選擇製作50版（複製50張），有些可能會到150版不等。
A LIMITED EDITION means that a fixed number of prints or impressions are produced, making the print valuable and collectible. The texture and quantity vary according to the printmaking technique used by each artist. Limited Edition means that each print has a certain number of works, some artists choose to reproduce their works with 50 editions (50 copies), and some may reach 150 prints.
02 「版次」是什麼？
「版次」也就是第幾版的意思，由一個像是分數的數字表示。通常是使用鉛筆在紙本的底部簽上版數及藝術家簽名，鉛筆線比較不容易被複製，因此比較不容易造假。「21/50」代表的就是這件作品總共50版，而此件作品是第21版。這樣您就可以知道在這個限量的版數中您拿到的是第幾版的作品囉！
Editions are the tiny fractions we see at the bottom of the artwork. The traditional way is to sign and number prints at the bottom of the image on the original paper, in pencil. A pencil mark is harder to be reproduced, making it less vulnerable to fraud. The numbering shows both the number of the print (the first number) and the total number of impressions of a particular edition (second number).
03 什麼是無版數的版畫 (OPEN EDITION)？
Open Edition基本上沒有版數的限制，因此要印多少就有多少！當然這樣的特性也會反應在價格上，讓open edition的作品價格更加的平易近人。
An OPEN EDITION has no limit on the number of prints produced, and because of this, they are generally more affordable than editioned prints.
