Most editions today are sized between fifty and two hundred impressions, with commercial lithograph and poster editions sometimes running into the thousands.

As Bradford's market grows, small editions like this one become progressively harder, and more expensive, to acquire on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProvenance — direct from Oehme Graphics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis impression was produced at Oehme Graphics in Steamboat Springs, Colorado — the master print shop run by Sue Oehme, longtime collaborator with Katherine Bradford and one of the most respected printers working with contemporary American painters today. I acquired the studio's holdings of these editions directly from Sue. The work has not previously circulated on the public market: Oehme Graphics is an active, in-demand studio, and the editions sat with the printer rather than being released to dealers.
