What is an ACEO?

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

ACEO’s are a sub-group of Small Format Art that have become popular with artists in recent years.  ACEO is an acronym for “Art Cards, Editions & Originals” – collectable little artwork gems only 2.5″ x 3.5″ in size. Size is the only guideline for artwork to be defined as an ACEO – they can be created in any and all mediums including collaged items, and may be original artwork in miniature or reprints of artwork as long as they meet the size requirement (which is also the size of a standard sports trading card).

Collecting ACEO’s has become quite an addictive hobby for many art collectors who love the opportunity to own artwork created by artists from around the world who’s larger work they admire.  ACEO’s can be displayed on table top easels or they can be framed and displayed on office desks or feature walls.  They also make excellent conversation starters if you keep them in a collection in Trading Card Albums or decorated boxes as a mini art gallery for your coffee table.

These are a few of the canine and wildlife ACEO’s I have previously created and sold:
