When the printing of an edition is complete, the artist reviews each print or “impression” for printing quality and similarity. In 2022, Sotheby’s sold an “Eric” lithograph numbered 35/38 from an early edition published in 1984 for over $56,000. If the print does not meet the artist’s criteria, it is destroyed.
