A general price guide by size is provided below. For the price of specific paintings contact the artist or gallery.

Commissions
Legend Paintings can be commissioned to honor a person, event, story or place. Please contact the artist. These collaborative creative projects are based on discussions and agreements between client and artist about the values and goals for the project; in stage one the artist provides project sketches which the client can accept or decline. Pamela Yates is not accepting new commissions at this time.  

Giclee Reproductions
A sample of titles and prices are provided below. Read "About Archival Fine Art Giclees." Purchasing a giclee is a great alternative when the original painting has already been sold and an affordable way to enlarge a collection of archival quality artwork. Giclees are usually available on either paper or canvas support (unwrapped, regular or gallery-wrap). Each limited edition giclee is signed and embossed by the artist and a Certificate of Artist Authenticity provides information about the giclee including archival material specifications and the fine art printer who produced your giclee. A giclee can be embellished by the artist with paint or medium, ask about embellishment.

About Archival Fine Art Giclees

"2009 Limited Edition giclees artwork by artist Pamela Yates will be individually hand-embossed with a unique mark created from a wood relief hand-carved by the artist. And as always each limited edition giclee will be individually numbered and signed by the artist." 
Purchasing a giclee is a great option when the original painting has already been sold and an affordable way to enlarge a collection of museum quality artwork. Limited edition giclees of my artwork are produced by professional fine art printers and purchasers are given details about the archival quality of materials. I am personally involved in all aspects beginning with quality of support, coatings, quality control, color matching through to proofing at each stage for every image. In 2008 I began to ponder a way to creatively "mark" my giclees to eliminate fake duplicates and preserve the value of genuine work, what came from this was the idea to create a unique hand-carved relief for embossing my giclees. This has turned out to be a deliciously creative and lovely solution, it's "art-on-art."    

Giclee reproductions vary in price depending on the popularity of the artist and the image. Size also plays a part because producing giclees is an expensive, skilled, creative technical process. If a particular Limited Edition giclee is popular the price will increase as the edition sells out since there are less available for purchase. This is the marketplace at work.

"Is a giclee the same as a print?"
I hear this question sometimes from visitors, at shows and there's discussed on the web and other publications. Here's my opinion which is exactly that, my opinion. Some folks compare fine art giclees with hand-pulled prints. A giclee is not a hand-pulled print and shouldn't be represented as the same artform; however a giclee is a legitimate newcomer to our creative art spaces and a welcome addition for collectors, museums and artists alike. Artmaking has always been responsive over the centuries to changes in materials and methods, we're not restricted to ochre and charcoal, hence there are masterpieces created using acrylic and oil paints and photography. Many famous international Art Museums across the globe exhibit glicee reproductions among their collections. While a hand-pulled print is an exquisite and irreplaceable artform, giclees do not need to compete with them since they are a new and beautiful contemporary artform in their own right. I encourage art buyers this way, with all your art purchases know what you are buying, learn about the artist and the gallery, take your time but follow your heart as well as your head-a image you truly love can inspire and nurture you every day and you'll find that over time it will return your investment again and again - and trust that it won't matter whether it matches the couch.
