WONKAĀ ÉDITIONS: DEMOCRATIZING CONTEMPORARY ART AND REINVENTING COLLECTING
A contemporary artist creates an original artwork.
From this original artwork, a premium edition of 100 signed and numbered silkscreen prints is produced.
45 days after each drop, one collector, selected through a random draw conducted by an auctioneer during an Instagram live, wins the original artwork.
Each acquisition therefore offers both a premium quality silkscreen edition and a one-in-a-hundred chance of winning the “golden ticket”, granting access to an original artwork from an established contemporary artist.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
1 ORIGINAL ARTWORK
For each drop, a contemporary artist is selected by the WONKAĀ team to create an original artwork, most often on paper or canvas. Each artwork is professionally scanned in Paris using high-resolution archival technology in order to obtain an exceptional file quality.
100 SIGNED PRINTS
The original artwork is reproduced as a limited silkscreen edition of 100 hand signed and numbered prints. The production of the silkscreen is handled by Lézards Graphiques, a silkscreen printing studio, founded in the 1970s and based in the area of Strasbourg, France. The studio is considered one of the leading printmaking workshops in Europe and is trusted by numerous artists, galleries, museums, and institutions. Each print is conceived as a true artwork in its own right.
1 CHANCE TO WIN
Once an order has been confirmed, each collector receives their edition number, which automatically serves as their entry for the final draw. Forty-five days after the drop, regardless of whether all editions have sold out, one edition number will be randomly selected under the supervision of a bailiff/ auctioneer. The collector holding the selected edition number will win the original artwork.
