Practice question · Multiple choice
In a properly declared edition of ten bronzes, what distinguishes the first cast from the seventh?
Hints
- Ask what the numbering records.
- All ten were declared in advance by the artist.
Show the answer
D. Only its position in the series; both are equally the work
Why
Only its position in the series. All ten were authorised in advance, so all ten are equally the work (allographic multiples), and the fraction records where a cast sits in a declared sequence rather than how authentic it is.
