Since 1969 Schellmann Art, formely Edition Schellmann, has been publishing contemporary artworks in limited editions. Inspired by the visual culture revolution of the 1960s, Schellmann Art started producing prints and multiples with European and American artists, focusing on Joseph Beuys and his seminal idea of multiples. In the mid-1980s a New York location was opened in Soho (then situated in Chelsea 2001-2016), and Schellmann Art increasingly concentrated on exploring and expanding the potential of producing editions. Recognizing that in our time it was no longer necessary for art to be created by an artist's hand, but predominantly by conceptual design and production, it became evident that an edition could be any work of art produced in a set number of copies.

As a result of this approach, projects came into being in all varieties of media: metal, wood, plastic, stone, concrete, light, photography, video, etc. In the early 1990s until today, Schellmann Art introduced a project called Wall Works, comprised of site-specific wall installations for which the artists created a design and parameters for how the work should be executed on a given wall at a give site.

Schellmann Art, based in Munich, continues to publish and distribute limited editions in a variety of media.
