Before you contact us, maybe your question is answered in one of our FAQ.

Art Fix Collect

What is a limited edition print?
A limited series of a particular print of an original artwork. Limited editions are fixed in quantity, meaning an artwork is produced in a certain number. The artists restrict the total amount of artworks produced in the edition, so that each individual work will retain its value over time.
What does AP mean?
Most limited editions will also include a small number of artist’s proofs, which are often listed as “AP” in the edition information.
Is the artist involved in the Art Fix edition?
Every artist works closely with us and reviews and approves the final edition. Some editions even have a hand finish, meaning the artist uses an additional touch to each artwork to make them unique.
How will my Art Fix edition be framed?
Every edition will have it’s own framing option. We have a specialist framing partner who makes sure the edition and its frame are handled with care. The Art Fix edition is mounted on thick acid free board and to protect and secure work we use UV perspex glass.
Why does the Art Fix edition not have a Certificate of Authenticity?
All Art Fix edition artworks are hand signed and numbered personally by the artists. The invoice issued by Art Fix and the artist's signature serve as authentication.
What if I do not like the Art Fix edition when it arrives?
We do not accept returns as the Art Fix edition is limited and only available for a limited period of time. You can always ask for additional information before you buy. Please contact ivy@art-fix.com.
Where can I learn more about the Art Fix edition?
Each edition and artist will be featured in an Art Fix episode. We will tell you the story behind this artwork and all about the artist.
Can I resell an Art Fix edition?
The release of an Art Fix edition is a collaboration between the artist and Art Fix. We like to offer these artworks so they can be enjoyed in the collections of our Art Fixers. We strongly encourage you to buy art that you like to keep and not to resell.

How do I troubleshoot 'Unsupported viewing environment' error messages?

If you’re seeing this error for all videos, your system or browser may not support playback in the Vimeo player. To start, double check the following:

  • The latest version of your browser is installed
  • Your system can decode H.264 video

Windows 10 users: There are versions of Windows 10 that do not come with codecs pre-installed. Try downloading the media packages found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions

If you continue to see the unsupported error in the player on Linux (for every video), please contact your OS community for assistance with installing the necessary packages for h.264/ HTML5 playback.

How do I troubleshoot 'Stream limit: Too many streams are open at once.' error messages?

Some video titles can only be viewed on one device at a time. There are also limits on how many different titles can be streamed concurrently on different devices.

To fix this error, reduce the number of simultaneous streams occurring on your account. For example, try closing additional browser tabs or active devices where your video is streaming.

How do I troubleshoot 'Network error' error messages?
If you are seeing this error, your browser or computer has lost connection to our player. If reloading the player doesn’t immediately resolve the issue, check your network connection to make sure it’s up and running. If the error persists, try temporarily disabling any active browser extensions, firewalls, or proxies that may be preventing a successful connection to Art Fix.
How do I troubleshoot 'Browser error' error messages?
This error can appear when your browser fails to fetch media for reasons that are usually unknown. Not to worry- a quick refresh of the player (or web page containing the player) should immediately fix the problem.
