Original vs prints

An original is a unique (or uniquely editioned) work made by the artist. A print or reproduction can be beautiful — but it is not the same kind of object.

What “original” usually means here

On this marketplace, artists list works they created. Ask about medium, whether the piece is unique, and if any certificate is available.

Limited editions should state edition size. Open reproductions are not originals.

Why the difference matters

Originals carry the artist’s hand, material choices, and scarcity. Prices and care needs differ from mass prints.

If you want a one-of-a-kind piece for your home, filter for originals and read the description carefully.

Ask clear questions

Contact the artist if the listing is unclear. Confirm uniqueness, materials, and what you will receive.

Agree payment and shipping directly with the artist.

FAQ

Are all listings unique paintings?
Most listed works are originals, but always read the page and ask the artist if unsure.
Can a print still be valuable?
Yes, especially signed limited editions — but they are a different category from a unique painting.

You contact the artist directly — Kunst24 is typically not party to the sale.
