The Increasing Value

Buying a Limited Edition photograph means you’re investing in rarity.

  • Editions of no more than 15 photos per format (60x90 cm or 100x150 cm) worldwide. Certain iconic photographs are only available in micro-editions of 3-5.
  • The value per copy increases every time a collector buys a photo from the edition size and the series comes closer to selling-out.
  • Fine Art photography is a growing investment trend in the international art market. Once a series has sold-out, your Original photo can be resold at a greater price to collectors in the secondary market.

    Elva, 73 years old, used to live near La Bodeguita Del Medio, an institution famous for its traditional Cuban mojitos that she claimed is as old as her. In exchange for a photograph, Réhahn gave her a Cohiba Esplendido cigar, and they smoked together for more than an hour. With the crown of red petals atop her head and the bold expression on her face in this photograph, there is something about Elva that might remind viewers of the spirit of Frida Kahlo. On many return visits to Cuba, Réhahn made a point to stop by and visit this intriguing and powerful woman.

    Can I order my Reproduction photograph in a bigger size ?

    No, we only sell Reproductions in one size (40x60cm). For bigger sizes, please see the Original Editions of your chosen photo.

    How long will it take to receive my artwork after I order it?

    Shipping typically takes around 2 weeks depending on your country. Your photo will be shipped from Germany.

    What if my photo gets damaged during delivery?

    For any damage incurred during delivery, please send us several pictures showing the damage. We will then ask you to destroy the Original damaged photograph so that we can ensure that the Limited Edition series maintains the same amount of copies. After we receive photos of the destroyed article as proof, we will send you a new photograph (with the same edition number) right away.

    What if my Original Edition gets damaged after delivery?

    Your Original Edition photograph comes with a lifetime guarantee. If it is damaged at any time, please contact us and we will send you a brand new one. We ask only that you pay for the processing fee needed to produce a new copy and that you destroy the original damaged article (with photographic proof) so that the Limited Edition series maintains the same amount of copies. Please contact us by email or WhatsApp for more information.

    Why should I try to buy the first copy of an Original Edition series?

    As each copy is sold, the price of each subsequent photograph will increase as availability becomes scarcer. Your potential investment increase is much higher for earlier copies in the series. For more information, check our article about Investing in Fine Art photography.
