THE ARCHIVE COLLECTION

Limited Edition Legacy Prints from Open Studio

Featuring rare and historically significant works by artists such as General Idea, Janet Cardiff, Harold Klunder, Erica Rutherford, and more.

From 1972 onwards, Open Studio carefully archived ‘Open Studio Proofs’ for every print created, often collecting multiple proofs. Select proofs from this storied archive are now available for collectors, starting with works from the 1970s onwards.

Why Collect These Prints

  • Limited-edition rarity: each work is carefully curated from the archive and represents significant moments in Canadian art and printmaking history.
  • Signature and provenance: Some works may include markings such as “OSP,” “OS,” or “Studio Proof”, or other indications of authenticity.
  • Support Open Studio: All sales help fund our non-profit, artist-run organization, supporting our printmaking studio and programs year-round.

We extend our sincere thanks to the artists and their estates for making this collection possible.
