1. Who or what is FROOSTY®?

FROOSTY® is the art and design brand of Christian Kernchen, registered with the German Patent and Trademark Office in Munich and based in Munich, Germany. The brand represents original digital artworks, visual compositions and designed products in the fields of contemporary, abstract, surreal and hyperrealistic art.

Fine Art Giclée prints are offered on high-quality, age-resistant Hahnemühle Museum papers as open editions and limited editions. Depending on the category and the individual work, certificates of authenticity, signatures and edition details may be included. AI COLLECTOR’S EDITIONS always include a certificate of authenticity and are always hand-signed by the artist FROOSTY®. AI ARTWORKS are generally offered with a certificate of authenticity, while the signature may be handwritten or digital depending on the individual work. AI POSTERS are usually offered without a certificate of authenticity and without a separate signature.

Across all categories, FROOSTY® is visibly integrated into the artwork itself, usually at the bottom right, as the artist name and trademark. The artworks are characterized by a carefully controlled color mood, high level of detail and a balanced visual impact. They are suitable for residential spaces, offices, business environments, interiors, galleries, curated wall installations and modern wall art concepts.

Sales and shipping are available nationally and internationally.

2. Are the artworks limited or available as open editions?

Some artworks are offered as strictly limited editions, while others, particularly posters and selected motifs, are available as open editions. The respective edition type is clearly and bindingly stated on the product page. Limited editions are produced exclusively in the specified quantity and are not reprinted. Open editions are continuously available unless stated otherwise.

3. What is the difference between AI POSTERS, AI ARTWORKS and AI COLLECTOR’S EDITIONS?

AI POSTERS are open-edition wall art created for decorative and design-oriented use. They are usually not numbered and generally do not include a certificate of authenticity or a separate signature. Nevertheless, FROOSTY® is also visibly integrated into these works, usually at the bottom right, as the artist name and trademark.

AI ARTWORKS are usually limited fine art editions with greater exclusivity and a stronger artistic and collector-oriented character. They are generally offered with a certificate of authenticity. Depending on the individual work, the signature may be handwritten or digital. FROOSTY® is likewise visibly integrated into the artwork, usually at the bottom right, and the signature may additionally be digitally embedded within the FROOSTY® marking itself.

AI COLLECTOR’S EDITIONS represent the most exclusive category within the FROOSTY® portfolio. They are offered in very small editions or as unique editions, always include a certificate of authenticity and are always hand-signed by the artist FROOSTY®. In addition, FROOSTY® is visibly integrated into the artwork, usually at the bottom right, and these works also carry the artist’s handwritten signature within or directly on the FROOSTY® marking itself.

4. Are AI POSTERS limited editions?

No. AI POSTERS are generally offered as open-edition wall art and are not positioned as limited fine art editions in the same way as AI ARTWORKS or AI COLLECTOR’S EDITIONS.

5. Where can I find more information about editions and category differences?

More detailed information about edition types, exclusivity, certificates of authenticity, signatures, visible artwork marking and category differences can be found in our Editions & Categories Guide.

6. Are the art prints signed or certified?

This depends on the respective category and the individual work. AI POSTERS are usually delivered without a certificate of authenticity and without a separate signature, although FROOSTY® remains visibly integrated into the artwork as the artist name and trademark.

AI ARTWORKS are generally offered with a certificate of authenticity. Depending on the individual work, the signature may be handwritten or digital. In some cases, the certificate of authenticity may also be provided in digital form and delivered later by email.

AI COLLECTOR’S EDITIONS always include a certificate of authenticity and are always hand-signed by the artist FROOSTY®. The relevant details regarding certificate, signature, numbering and edition type are clearly stated on the respective product page and form part of the product specification.
