Interaction Art
Interactive art refers to artwork that relies on the engagement and involvement of an observer.
Interactive art emerged in the late 1950s as artists sought to create more inclusive and welcoming spaces for their work. They began using everyday places like streets, warehouses, and shop fronts to display their art, making it more engaging and accessible.
These artists designed sculptures that people could touch and play with. For instance, Niki de Saint Phalle created the enormous Golem sculpture in Rabinovich Park, Jerusalem, which included a children's slide.
Interactive art also extends into the realm of computer-based art, where participants interact with technology arranged by the artist, as seen in the public works of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. It's closely linked with the concept of relational aesthetics, emphasising the social and interactive aspects of art.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is part of a unique series of pieces. Limited editions are fixed in quantity, meaning we will only ever produce a certain number.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
No—the copyright is not transferred to the purchaser of the edition.
