"Limited Edition" refers to the fact that there is only a certain amount, or "limited" number of serigraphs printed of a specific piece of artwork. After the edition is printed, all of the original artwork and screens used to make the print are destroyed or effaced. This ensures that no additional prints of this image will be made in the future. This is the opposite of an "Open Edition," where public demand determines the number of pieces included in an edition.

The limited life of the stencil prevents unlimited editions. Additionally, variables in the process of hand-pulling serigraphs mean that each individual serigraph is slightly different from each other serigraph in the edition. Minor deviations in color registration, paint distribution, and variations yield individual pieces that are truly "one-of-a-kind" or "original."

THE 1980 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS, THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS

Through his work, Rick Rush captures the heartbeat of America in individual sporting events, each locking in time a moment of sports history. In this serigraph, Rick captures the 1980 National Championship game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the perennial power Notre Dame. You can feel the intensity of the Georgia players as they capture their first National Championship before a crowd of 77,895 fans. The Bulldogs defeated Notre Dame 17-10 in the Sugar Bowl in the New Orleans Superdome. Georgia was led by Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker and quarterback Buck Belue. Coach Vince Dooley led his team to a perfect 12-0 season.
