original art
Not a reproduction
Original art refers to a unique work created directly by an artist's hand, as opposed to reproductions, prints, or copies.
The term distinguishes one-of-a-kind pieces from mass-produced versions: The gallery only sells original art, not posters.
In collecting, original art commands higher prices precisely because of its singularity and the artist's direct involvement in its creation.
