The 2017 Print of the Season Limited Edition
The third Alain Briot Print of the Season Limited Edition is titled Navajoland Trilogy. It is released in a very limited edition of only 4 print sets. Each set features three prints. Each print is hand-signed and numbered.
This Limited Edition Trilogy print set is offered only during the 2017 Holiday Season. Availability ends on December 31st or earlier if the edition sells out before December 31st. So far Prints of the Season have sold out within days of being announced so I expect the 2017 edition to close quickly.
About the print of the Season Limited Edition Collection
The goal of the Print of the Season Limited Edition Collection is to offer a unique set of prints for the Holiday season. I offer very few limited edition prints and when I do I offer them in edition of 100 usually. The print of the Season collection is truly unique because each edition features a very small number of prints making it both highly collectable and more valuable.
This collection was started in 2014. The 2014 edition featured 14 prints to celebrate 2014. The 2015 edition featured 15 prints to celebrate 2015. The goal was to continue offering a number of prints equal to the last 2 digits of the year. However this meant increasing the edition size each year. In 2016 I decided to change this by setting a much smaller number for the edition size. As a result the 2016 Print of the Season offering was released in an edition of 5 print sets only.
The 2017 Print of the Season is being released in an even smaller edition: only 4 sets are available.
I decided to limit it to 4 sets because 4 is the sacred number of the Navajo People. This number is present in all aspects of their lives: 4 seasons, 4 cycles of life and 4 parts of many other things.
The goal of this very small number is to make this edition valuable and collectable. Because this edition is a trilogy, each of the three images are numbered from 1 to 4 for a total of 12 prints (3x4). To keep the integrity of the trilogy this edition is sold only as a set of three prints. This means that these images will be owned only by 4 collectors.
Pricing value
The value of the 2017 Print of the Season Trilogy is unique: you get three limited edition prints for the price of one. My regular price for a 16x20 mat size Limited Edition Master Print is $2195. This set of three 16x20 Master Prints is offered at $2195 for the set. This means you get one print for the price of three. What is the catch? There is only one: only 4 collectors will own this set. That's all. A great offer, an incredible offer in fact, but available only to 4 lucky collectors.

About the Images
All three photographs were created this summer during a photography expedition to Navajoland in Utah. Navajoland is the largest Native American reservation in the United States. While it sees some tourism, visitors limit their visit to the most well known areas such as Monument Valley for example.
The photographs in the 2017 Print of the Season Limited Edition Trilogy Set shows areas not visited by tourists. Natalie and I discovered these areas because we lived in Navajoland for 7 years and during that time we spent a lot of time exploring and hiking in remote areas of Navajoland. These are some of the most beautiful areas of Navajoland. Many of them can only be accessed through hard to find dirt roads or by hiking.
These three images were taken this year during the same photographic expedition. When the time came to select images for the Print of the Season Collection these three images struck me as complementing each other extremely well. I wanted to select only one of them but I could not remove the two others. For this reason I decided to offer them as a trilogy set. I like the number three, which I find both aesthetic and inspirational, and I did not want to separate these three images. Keeping them together as a trilogy was the obvious solution. They were created together and they should stay together.
Matting
This limited edition set is available matted museum-style in mats hinged to the backing board. Each print is attached to the mat with plastic corners, meaning that no tape touches the print. The print is not dry mounted because dry mounting is not reversible. The mounting technique we use is totally archival because the print can be removed from the mat simply by lifting it off. This also means that the print will not wrinkle or warp depending on the humidity level because it has room to expand freely not being attached with tape. This 100% archival mounting is used by museums worldwide and is preferred to all other types of matting and mounting.
