Signed and numbered artwork lets you know that you have a limited edition. Often, the format of the painting, such as a giclee or serigraph, will only be created a certain number of times. It is signed by Peter Max in the bottom right corner. The number is then expressed as a fraction. The bottom number is the total number of prints released while the top number signifies the number that you have. The first five will often be identified as "AP," which is an artist proof. Once all of a certain painting has been released, there will be no more created and the stencils are destroyed.
