Well if there not the same, (be it only a differnt colour) and theres only one of each, then yes there one offs.

Is it not the same image but in different colours? Part of a series rather than made only once.

so does that make the vhils prints one off's or the ny failes 1/1 because they're all handpainted differently even though they're an edition of 12. overrun of happens everyday for example...

I didnt ask if it was unique.

The question is - is it one off?
If there are several versions of the same image but in different colours how can it be a one off?

Not to make this more complicated but I was told by the Jonathine Levine gallery that size also matters. Parden the pun. I personally don't like this concept but JL said an artist can re-release an identical image at a different size and be still considered unique.

I agree with PUD to a degree but i think youve got to give it some movement. Agreed that there could be 17,576 versions but there isnt theres only 2. If there was 3+ i think i would put it in the same catagory as SPQR's cans. I think its probably one-of-a-kind but not unique and god knows about original, but then again you could argue both sides. Once again its down to our mother tongue i recon. I suppose you have to define each term with 100% acuracy to be sure.

No i think the 19th centuary art movement was very different. The sudden change in the look of these paintings was brought about by a change in methodology: applying paint in small touches of pure colour rather than broader strokes, and painting out of doors to catch a particular fleeting impression of colour and light. The result was to emphasise the artist's perception of the subject matter as much as the subject itself. I think because of this technique each piece was truely unique and original. ;D

sorry relay.... I was being sarcastic.
