Prints from the Archive

Between 1972 and 2018, Open Studio collected at least one ‘Open Studio Proof’ for every print created in the studio, preserving them in our archive. In many cases, two or even three proofs were collected. As part of a major archive project, we are excited to offer ‘Open Studio Proof’ editions of prints by select artists for sale for the first time, beginning with works from the 1970s and 1980s.

Open Studio Proofs are distinct from the numbered editions (similar to an AP or BAT). Some may feature variations in the signature, such as “OSP,” “OS,” or “Studio Proof.” Where possible, we’ve included more detailed information about these prints in our listings based on our records.

We extend our gratitude to the artists and their estates for making these works available for sale.

Be sure to check back often, as we’ll be releasing more prints from our archive. Have questions? Feel free to email us.
