Covering the Edition Number, by chevyav53 on Sept 11, 2017 17:39:39 GMT 1, I am wondering why almost everyone covers the edition number when posting or selling art online. What is the reason?
I thought it might have to do with recreation of the work but if someone wanted to do that they could easily pick any number from the edition. I thought maybe due to stolen art etc.... Thought many things and searched as best I could but can't find the answer.
Love to hear from sellers as to why some hide the edition number when posting or selling their art?

It's probably more just a habit, as I'd imagine records aren't kept that often or even asked for by many galleries.
If it's the Banksy high value work, then it's more of an added security feature, as a lot of members are relatively open about who they are in the real world.
