Norman Lindsay etchings This page is dedicated to erotic art by an outstanding Australian artist Norman Lindsay (1879-1969), specifically, to Norman Lindsay Limited Edition Etchings.
Collectible erotic art
During the most creative period of his life, while living in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney, Norman Lindsay created many beautiful works of erotic art that were banned and/or were subject of great controversy for long time until recently. Most of his works are highly romantic, depicting nudes in various situations. Norman Lindsay works are full of character, wit and humor, where eroticism, nudity and fantasy are often the main ideas of the composition. Today Norman Lindsay is the most sought after Australian artist, and is well known and collectible worldwide.
Why facsimile
Limited Edition Facsimile Etchings by Norman Lindsay are prints produced after his death by owners of the copyright (mostly his descendants) from the original etchings. As Norman Lindsay printed the original etchings in small quantities (usually 55 prints from 1 plate), they range in price from (AUD) 3,000 to 30,000 and therefore are not affordable for many people (most are in private collections and not available anyway). The Limited Edition Facsimile Etchings were produced to satisfy high demand and were printed in numbers of 550 from each plate. The printing began in 1974, and only about 20 works were printed this way so far. Many of them are already sold out due to affordable price (from about AUD 200 to 3,000).
Limited editions
The Limited Edition Facsimile Etchings are unique highly collectible works due to the number of copies printed, and the way they are printed in edition of 550 only. After printing all original printing materials used for the Facsimile Etchings have been destroyed and the metal plates used in the printing process have first been cancelled and then destroyed.
The fact that the work is never printed again means that each of the 550 prints becomes a rare work of erotic art, sought after by art collectors worldwide.
Collect to invest
This web page lists several of most beautiful currently available Norman Lindsay Limited Edition Facsimile Etchings. Each work is hand numbered (of the total of 550), has an embossed seal of the publisher in the lower right corner, and comes with Certificate of Authenticity from the publisher. As it is a facsimile, each print has Norman Lindsay initials or signature, just as on the original etching. Some of these etchings were never published before (not even by the artist in edition of 55), which makes them truly unique. Some of these works are now only available in 1 copy.
Limited Edition prints are affordable to invest in, compared to other types of fine art like drawing, watercolor or oil. The Limited Edition prints are your chance to own art by a well-known and highly collectible master.
Unique gift
We believe these erotic art etchings make the best gift anyone can imagine, for any purpose – business gift, wedding gift, birthday gift or gift for fiancée. Recent years saw increasing interest in Norman Lindsay works, and accordingly the prices for his works are rising. Even though the limited edition prints may look expensive at first to buy for own enjoyment, this is the money you invest, not spend. As the works are sold out and increase in value (which has been happening so far), the prices will be adjusted.
The etchings are offered unframed. Please email us if you wish to purchase these works framed. Note that framing will increase price and shipping costs.
