"Giclée (pronounced Gee'clay) is the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing", and by extension the name given to the print itself. It is "a French term meaning to spray or squirt, which is how an inkjet printer works."
High resolution digital photographs can be "printed to almost any size with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy, luminosity and brilliance of the artist's original artwork than other means of reproduction." Therefore the image has all the tonalities, hues and textures of the original painting.
The Market : Numerous examples of giclee prints can be found in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chelsea Galleries. Recent auctions of giclee prints have fetched $10,800 for Annie Leibovitz, $9,600 for Chuck Close, and $22,800 for Wolfgang Tillmans (April 23/24 2004, Photographs, New York, Phillips de Pury & Company.)
