Multiples refer to a series of identical art objects produced in limited editions according to the artist's concept. These works are specifically created for sale and are often considered the most affordable and accessible form of contemporary art. What sets multiples apart is their lack of uniqueness, which is typically seen as essential in traditional artworks. Instead, they offer value and enjoyment while making contemporary art more widely available.

Capitalist Realism is a German form of political pop art that emerged in Cold War-era Berlin in 1963. It sought to challenge the dominance of American pop art in the Western world. The movement blended the ideologies of both pop art and socialist realism, offering a critique of consumer culture and political power.

Original artwork is art that stems directly from the personal inspiration and creativity of an artist. It is not a direct copy of another artist’s work, though it may be inspired by it. The subject matter can be similar, but it cannot be an exact replication. The term also refers to a unique piece, as opposed to a multiple or edition.
