Latest version.
  • The  following  information  shall be
      supplied, as indicated, as to each multiple produced on or after January
      first, nineteen hundred eighty-two:
        1. Artist. State the name of the artist.
        2. Signature. If the artist's name  appears  on  the  multiple,  state
      whether  the  multiple  was  signed  by the artist. If not signed by the
      artist then state the source of the artist's name on the multiple,  such
      as  whether  the  artist placed his signature on the master, whether his
      name was stamped or estate stamped on the multiple,  or  was  from  some
      other source or in some other manner placed on the multiple.
        3.  Medium  or  process. (a) Describe the medium or process, and where
      pertinent to photographic processes the material, used in producing  the
      multiple,  such  as  whether  the multiple was produced through etching,
      engraving, lithographic,  serigraphic  or  a  particular  method  and/or
      material   used   in   the  photographic  developing  processes.  If  an
      established term, in accordance with the usage of the trade,  cannot  be
      employed  accurately  to  describe the medium or process, a brief, clear
      description shall be made.
        (b) If the purported artist was deceased at the time  the  master  was
      made which produced the multiple, this shall be stated.
        (c)  If  the  multiple  or the image on or in the master constitutes a
      mechanical,  photomechanical,  hand-made   or   photographic   type   of
      reproduction,  or is a reproduction, of an image produced in a different
      medium, for a purpose other than the  creation  of  the  multiple  being
      described, this information and the respective mediums shall be stated.
        (d)  If  paragraph  (c)  of  this  subdivision  is applicable, and the
      multiple is not signed, state whether the artist authorized or  approved
      in  writing  the  multiple  or  the  edition of which the multiple being
      described is one.
        4. Use of master. (a) If the multiple is a "posthumous" multiple, that
      is, if the master was created during the life  of  the  artist  but  the
      multiple was produced after the artist's death, this shall be stated.
        (b)  If  the  multiple  was  made from a master which produced a prior
      limited edition, or from a master which constitutes or was made  from  a
      reproduction  of  a  prior  multiple or of a master which produced prior
      multiples, this shall be stated.
        5. Time produced. As to  multiples  produced  after  nineteen  hundred
      forty-nine,  state  the  year  or  approximate  year  the  multiple  was
      produced. As to multiples produced  prior  to  nineteen  hundred  fifty,
      state  the  year,  approximate  year  or period when the master was made
      which produced the multiple and/or when the  particular  multiple  being
      described  was  produced.  The requirements of this subdivision shall be
      satisfied when the year stated is approximately accurate.
        6. Size of the edition. (a) If the multiple being described is offered
      as one of a limited edition, this shall be so stated,  as  well  as  the
      number  of multiples in the edition, and whether and how the multiple is
      numbered.
        (b)  Unless  otherwise  disclosed,  the  number  of  multiples  stated
      pursuant  to  paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision  shall constitute an
      express warranty, as defined in section 13.01 of  this  title,  that  no
      additional  numbered  multiples  of the same image, exclusive of proofs,
      have been produced.
        (c) The number of multiples stated pursuant to paragraph (a)  of  this
      subdivision  shall  also  constitute  an express warranty, as defined in
      section 13.01 of this title, that no additional multiples  of  the  same
      image,  whether designated "proofs" other than trial proofs, numbered or
      otherwise, have been produced in an amount which exceeds the  number  in
      the limited edition by twenty or twenty percent, whichever is greater.
    
        (d)  If  the  number  of  multiples  exceeds  the number in the stated
      limited edition as provided in paragraph (c) of this  subdivision,  then
      state the number of proofs other than trial proofs, or other numbered or
      unnumbered multiples, in the same or other prior editions, produced from
      the  same  master  as  described in paragraph (b) of subdivision four of
      this section, and whether and how they are signed and numbered.
