Your descriptions and explanations do not make any real distinction at all
between a limited edition and open edition.
There is no such thing as multiple limited editions in the art world.
No such thing.
Books and music are TOTALLY a different animal and cannot be applied to
artwork. Printing or issuing additional editions is done in publishing and
music, not in art.
