In a world where art is becoming more accessible, flexible, and collectible, one trend continues to rise steadily: high-quality art prints—especially giclée prints.
Whether you're a collector looking for affordability without sacrificing quality, or an artist seeking to expand your reach, giclée printing has emerged as a powerful tool for bridging exclusivity and accessibility.
What Is a Giclée Print—and Why Does It Matter?
A giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) is a fine art digital print made on archival quality paper using high-resolution inkjet printing. But this isn’t your average poster, it’s a museum-grade reproduction known for longevity, color accuracy, and detail.
Many giclée prints are produced in limited editions, hand-signed by the artist, and accompanied by certificates of authenticity—making them collectible in their own right.
The Numbers Tell the Story
According to Art Basel and UBS’s 2023 Global Art Market Report, the online art market reached $11.2 billion, and prints remain one of the top-selling categories due to their price accessibility and growing demand for home curation.
A 2022 report by Statista showed that art prints (including giclée) saw a 36% increase in sales through online platforms post-pandemic, driven by new millennial and Gen Z collectors.
In a 2023 Saatchi Art survey, over 60% of collectors said they are more likely to purchase a limited edition print than an original, especially for emerging artists.

Why This Matters for African Art
This rise in print culture opens a new frontier for African artists and collectors alike. Through giclée printing:
Artists can share powerful works beyond the limits of a single canvas
Collectors can access museum-quality storytelling at more accessible price points
African narratives can circulate globally without the burden of shipping originals
At Infinite Treasures, we recognize the importance of making our stories both sacred and shareable. That’s why we are exploring curated giclée editions from our artists—ensuring the value of their work multiplies, not just monetarily, but in impact.
Beyond the home collector, we are also scaling visibility by working to supply prints and help curate placements in luxury hotels, resorts, and corporate environments. These highly visible spaces provide a global stage for verified African art, exposing new audiences to culturally rooted storytelling and elevating brand and guest experiences through meaningful, aesthetic depth.
Preserve the Original. Multiply the Message.
Prints do not dilute the value of original works—they expand their reach. A thoughtfully produced giclée edition is not a compromise. It’s a continuation.
Collectors can invest in storytelling at different price points, and artists can reach wider audiences without sacrificing excellence or integrity.
And when art is placed not only in galleries, but in boardrooms, lobbies, and lounges—its voice gets louder, stronger, and harder to ignore.
