“Ex libris” is Latin for “from the library of” and refers to a small artwork traditionally placed inside a book to mark its owner. It is one of the oldest forms of graphic art. Exlibris first became widespread during the Renaissance, but some historians trace its roots all the way back to the 14th century BCE!
Over time, books as physical objects became less and less valuable, which diminished the need to mark them. Nevertheless, exlibris persevered and was preserved as an art form. For centuries, exlibris artworks have been created, exchanged, collected and displayed for their artistic value and the stories they tell.
E/A (épreuve d’artiste) and A/P (artist’s proof) refer to an impression made by the artist outside the numbered edition – often kept for the artist’s own collection. It is an original impression considered part of the artist’s working process.
They are both.
The advent of mass digital printing methods brought about a lot of confusion regarding the meaning of the word “print”, and many people nowadays use it to signify something that is mass-produced and of lesser artistic (and monetary) value.
Because of this, many artists and galleries have stopped using the word “print” for their unique or limited-edition graphic art, which further feeds into the confusion. We do not believe in this approach. This is why we strive to educate people and to help them understand that a “print” is something that can signify anything from a unique artwork to a picture in a daily newspaper.
The graphic artworks offered by Largo NORD Gallery are either unique or part of a limited series (typically 20 to 40 impressions). They are all original artworks.
Printed area refers to the dimensions of the image, which can be smaller than the full paper sheet. Framing must use the size of the paper sheet.
Yes. Select ‘Framed’ on an artwork page to explore the framing options.
The number of options in our framing module is limited in order to keep things simple. If you can’t find the exact frame or passepartout material you’re looking for, or would like to order a custom-sized frame, don’t hesitate to contact us.
A digital certificate of authenticity is provided with every artwork. Requests for provenance are handled individually. Refer to our Terms of Service for more information.
We currently deliver within the EEA only, but expect to start shipping internationally very soon. Stay tuned for updates!
We offer a 30-day no-questions-asked return guarantee alongside the statutory 14-day withdrawal right for all artworks and standard-sized frames.
Made-to-order custom framing solutions are generally excluded from our no-questions-asked returns policy, but may still be returned in some cases prescribed by law, such as if they arrive damaged or are misrepresented during the sale.
The frames of preframed artworks (i.e. artworks for which we ourselves chose the frame and sold it bundled with the artwork, instead of as a separate item) may be returned under the no-questions-asked policy, but only together with the artwork they came with.
Contact the gallery for arrangements before returning an artwork.
Yes. While our website is entirely custom-built by us, we use Shopify’s secure checkout portal to collect payments and sensitive information. We do this in order to provide the highest possible level of security for our customers.
We are always interested in discovering and working with artists whose work aligns with our gallery’s curatorial vision. All artists looking for a gallery to partner with are welcome to contact us.
Well-made scans or photographs of your artwork, a personal website or a well-developed Instagram profile and a PDF catalogue are great ways to get ahead in the selection process.
We have decided to introduce an internal ban on offering or otherwise handling artwork made with AI. To our knowledge, AI was not used to create any part of the artworks we offer.
We do not currently plan to lift this ban. If we ever decide to do so, we will use every available channel to inform you and clearly label any such artworks.
