Signed & Numbered

I love the Signed & Numbered concept. A huge array of art prints that regular people can afford. And actually want. Signed and numbered by the local and international artists that created them. These are not knock off prints and you won’t find dodgy rip offs of the art spotted at The Cullen down the road that contestants of reality TV series seem to favour (not cool).
This is a Melbourne art lovers paradise. With many of the works we’ve come to know and love adorned on our street walls and pasted up in laneways, Signed & Numbered is one of the few places you can actually find printed works from these local street artists. Ghostpatol, Kaffiene et al.
All prints are available as-​is or framed. Buying a framed print from here is the most affordable option with prices very reasonable compared to taking it to a separate framer. But it’s always nice to have the option.
Awesome spot for putting the finishing touches on your living space or finding a really unique gift.

There’s no better consumerist activity than the casual peruse without purchase. And this activity assumes its ultimate contention at Signed and Numbered.
I spent a decent 45 minutes in here, strumming my curious fingers across 6 distinct boxes of carefully considered works. I must admit I’m pretty ignorant about the scene, but the people behind Signed and Numbered have narrowed the very eclectic art form into wonderfully accessible categories — selecting a small range of artists to show off a great diversity in the form. My new favourite is now Kelly Allen, but there are about 30 others if she doesn’t appeal.
The store person blessed me with a perfect concoction of assistance mixed with an astute awareness of when to leave me be — so rare these days among shop assistants who blare an empty ‘Hey BABES’ across the storefront. She was well versed in everything street art, and could answer any of my annoying questions.
If Prahran isn’t local for you, they also have a website where they sell all their prints. If you can make the trip, however, I do recommend it because they take great care in framing images and finding the best sizes etc to suit your needs.

Just around the corner from Greville st opposite Babble is the part retail part gallery concept ‘Signed and Numbered’.
This is a cool place to visit and flick through high quality street art at a relatively affordable price. The majority of the works are limited edition prints that come with a signed certificate of authenticity from the artist. The editions usually run to 10 prints per image therefore maintaining a high level of exclusivity.
Signed and Numbered currently display 10 — 15 different artists that are related by their medium (illustration, print, etchings) and their works have a distinct surreal street vibe that wouldn’t be out of place in a Frankie magazine.
Unique etchings can be bought for as little as $ 35 or $ 70 framed. The larger prints range from $ 150-​$ 400 dependant upon framing.
