and many others. The platform aims to encourage people who might not be able to afford these artists’ traditional physical artworks to become collectors of digital editions.
Artworks are sold at affordable prices ranging from £5 to £1500. For many of the works, the price goes up as the edition sells out. The edition runs range from 30 to 10,000 editions. Each work comes with a digital certificate that is “signed, numbered and authenticated by the artist” Once an edition is sold out, collectors can resell their works in the online marketplace.
In June 2013, Sedition opened up its platform to allow submissions from other artists who can benefit from promoting and selling their works in digital limited editions.
