It seems you are limited, however, to small prints and editions. But I see you've been able to do it in a positive way. Signed catalogs, small objects purchased directly from artists is I think an important part of art commerce. Ephemera (including autographs) often talks about the artist's work and life that full-fledged paintings, sculptures and other works can't. Plus, of course, you're supporting younger artists, which probably makes for more interesting encounters in the studio... Great stuff.
