Editions
The Erik Brunetti Foundation for the Arts maintains archival documentation and selected materials relating to Erik Brunetti’s print editions produced in collaboration with Brand X Editions, New York.
The archive documents the translation of Brunetti’s drawings and graphic works into print through source material, color and tonal separations, working proofs, approval records, production notes, paper and ink specifications, and completed edition documentation. These materials preserve the technical and aesthetic decisions through which each edition was realized while identifying the respective roles of the artist, printer, chromist, and publisher.
Production records may include original source drawings, digital or hand-prepared separations, color and tonal tests, working proofs, artist’s and printer’s proofs, approval records, signed edition examples, and printer and publisher documentation. Together, these materials support research into printmaking, collaborative production, edition history, and the relationship between unique source works and printed multiples.
Oval Parody — Print Edition Production
Print editions derived from Oval Parody, first exhibited in 2022 at Spazio Maiocchi, Milan, were initiated in collaboration with Brand X Editions in New York. Each print corresponds to one of the twelve original paintings comprising the series and is generated directly from its source work.
Editioning proceeds on a rolling basis. Completed impressions are reviewed, signed, and documented upon approval, with associated proofs and production materials retained as part of the Foundation’s archival record.
The editions extend the original body of work into printed form while maintaining continuity with Brunetti’s longer history of mechanical reproduction and graphic distribution. The production archive records this transition from unique painted works to controlled print circulation at the point of manufacture.

Ink Drawing Editions
The Ink Drawing Editions translate selected works from Brunetti’s drawing practice through tonal separation and silkscreen printing.
Produced on Rives BFK paper, the editions preserve the density, variation, and irregularity of the original ink drawings while establishing a documented print record of each image. Archival materials include source drawings, separation files, working proofs, approval records, and final edition specifications.
Individual edition records document the source work, printing process, paper and dimensions, edition and proof structure, printer and chromist, publisher, signature and chop placement, approval date, and confirmed institutional placements where applicable.
Production Archive
The Foundation preserves selected source materials, separations, working proofs, color tests, approval records, signed impressions, and related production documentation generated during the editioning process.
These records establish a material history of each edition from source work through final impression and provide a basis for future scholarship, exhibition, publication, provenance research, and Catalogue Raisonné documentation.
Institutional Placements
Four prints by Erik Brunetti produced with Brand X Editions are scheduled for inclusion in the Brand X archive at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Four Brunetti prints are also scheduled for inclusion in a Brand X Editions donation to the Dallas Museum of Art. Brand X Editions is coordinating the donation directly with the museum.
The Foundation maintains documentation relating to these institutional placements and will record the completed transfers as part of the archival and provenance history of the editions.
Institutional Access
Selected editions, working proofs, and production records may be available for institutional loan, exhibition, publication, and scholarly consultation.
