What is a Fine Art Print?

The Print Club of Albany defines a fine art print as an original piece of art printed by the artist or under his immediate supervision from a plate they have made. These prints are original works of art and are not to be confused with print copies made by offset printing with photolithography methods, which are commonly sold in print and frame shops as fine art.

Joining has the following benefits for members:

  • Each year the club contracts with a nationally known artist to create a print solely for our members. The Print Club of Albany has issued a print for our members every year since 1933! Members receive the print as a gift for being a member. The commissioned prints are called “Presentation Prints.” This is an unusual name and only applies to the commissioned prints by print clubs.
  • The club maintains available past presentation prints for sale to members only who want to add to their collection.
  • The Print Club of Albany has established a permanent collection of prints. Over 20,000 prints now reside in our collection, representing all types of printmaking. These are on display at the Museum of Prints and Printmaking.
  • In addition to prints, the club maintains collections of books, papers and notes of artists who are represented in the club collection and who have generously contributed them to our archives.
