What is Mimesis?

Mimesis is a Los Angeles–based art advisory and print publisher specializing in original prints, limited editions, and unique works by both established and emerging artists. Each month, we release a rotating selection of rare and historical prints and multiples, alongside exclusive editions published in collaboration with contemporary voices. In addition to our publishing and retail program, we privately advise collectors and select institutions — offering tailored guidance on acquisitions, collection management, resale planning, and estate strategy.

What kind of artwork do you specialize in?

We specialize in original prints and editions by influential Modern, Contemporary, Pop, and Urban artists. Our collection features over 200 works, carefully selected for their historical relevance, visual impact, and long-term value. We also produce new editions in partnership with leading contemporary voices.

How do I know the works are Authentic?

All artworks undergo a rigorous multi-step authentication process and are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Our team has over 15 years of experience in the secondary market, with deep expertise in works on paper. Each piece is carefully examined for paper quality, ink composition, signature characteristics, and edition details. We conduct thorough provenance research and source works directly from artists, estates, or a trusted network of vetted collectors. When needed, we collaborate with independent scholars, authentication experts, and institutional specialists to ensure the hig

Can I view the works in person?

Of course. We operate a little differently. Mimesis partners with a fine art storage and logistics provider in Los Angeles—trusted by many of the world’s leading museums and galleries. All artworks are held in a secure, climate-controlled facility and are available for viewing by appointment. We offer both in-person and virtual showings. Please note: due to storage protocols, we require 72 hours' notice for in-person appointments and 48 hours for virtual showings.

How does framing and shipping work?

All artworks ship from our Los Angeles studio, fully insured and handled by trusted fine art logistics specialists. For unframed works, we offer a flat-rate domestic shipping fee of $95 - $195 (depending on value), with international shipping available upon request (typically $495-$995 worldwide). Local collectors may opt for personal delivery or studio pickup by appointment. Framed works, paintings, and sculptural objects require custom shipping arrangements. Our team will coordinate the safest and most cost-effective solution based on location, medium, and scale. Please allow 7–10 business d
