[QUOTE="Mark London, post: 358232, member: 346"]Sadly people often tend to confuse the terminology. In recent years an artists proof is the exactly the same as the regular edition. Prints which were made prior to "getting it right" are trial proofs, etc. In many cases the publisher pays the artist in part with artists proofs which he/she can either sell or give to friends. This is also the case for "printers' proofs." The notion that an artists' proof is somehow more valuable than a print from the regular edition is not supported by sales data on the secondary market.[/QUOTE]
