Limited edition is supposed to be what it says - no more prints after the designated number of prints. Usually the prices go up in multiples of 5 as they sell - so a edition of 25 prints would have a price increase as 5, 10, 15, 20 prints get sold, or some such method as agreed between the artist and the gallery representing them. The pricing follows the mantra of "what the market can bear", and thus the escalating price points followed by most galleries/artists as a price discovery/maximization mechanism. The normal gallery cut for most types of art is 30-40%. There are many photographers, however, (Brooks Jensen, Peter Turnley) who only sell unlimited editions, and this number is growing rapidly.
