Finding the Right Prints And Multiples for You
Decorating with fine art prints — whether they’re figurative prints, abstract prints or another variety — has always been a practical way of bringing a space to life as well as bringing works by an artist you love into your home.
Pursued in the 1960s and ’70s, largely by Pop artists drawn to its associations with mass production, advertising, packaging and seriality, as well as those challenging the primacy of the Abstract Expressionist brushstroke, printmaking was embraced in the 1980s by painters and conceptual artists ranging from David Salle and Elizabeth Murray to Adrian Piper and Sherrie Levine.
Printmaking is the transfer of an image from one surface to another. An artist takes a material like stone, metal, wood or wax, carves, incises, draws or otherwise marks it with an image, inks or paints it and then transfers the image to a piece of paper or other material.
Fine art prints are frequently confused with their more commercial counterparts. After all, our closest connection to the printed image is through mass-produced newspapers, magazines and books, and many people don’t realize that even though prints are editions, they start with an original image created by an artist with the intent of reproducing it in a small batch. Fine art prints are created in strictly limited editions — 20 or 30 or maybe 50 — and are always based on an image created specifically to be made into an edition.
Many people think of revered Dutch artist Rembrandt as a painter but may not know that he was a printmaker as well. His prints have been preserved in time along with the work of other celebrated printmakers such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol. These fine art prints are still highly sought after by collectors.
“It’s another tool in the artist’s toolbox, just like painting or sculpture or anything else that an artist uses in the service of mark making or expressing him- or herself,” says International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) vice president Betsy Senior, of New York’s Betsy Senior Fine Art, Inc.
Because artist’s editions tend to be more affordable and available than his or her unique works, they’re more accessible and can be a great opportunity to bring a variety of colors, textures and shapes into a space.
For tight corners, select small fine art prints as opposed to the oversized bold piece you’ll hang as a focal point in the dining area. But be careful not to choose something that is too big for your space. And feel free to lean into it if need be — not every work needs picture-hanging hooks. Leaning a larger fine art print against the wall behind a bookcase can add a stylish installation-type dynamic to your living room. (Read more about how to arrange wall art here.)

Questions About Signed Calder Print
- What is a signed print?1 AnswerLilac Gallery Ltd.March 17, 2021A signed print is when the artwork was produced by the means of transferring ink into a particular medium like paper, wood, metal, etc., and then is hand-signed by the artist. And if the print is part of a 'limited edition' would be numbered as well.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024If a print is signed but not numbered, it may be an artist’s proof. Also called an AP, an artist’s proof is a print that the artist makes to test the printing process or for personal use and is not intended for sale. A signed but unnumbered print may also be a publisher's proof, a print that the publisher uses to assess image quality during the printing process. Find a wide variety of art prints on 1stDibs.
- Are signed prints worth anything?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Similar to other artwork, hand-signed prints are more valuable than art that hasn't been signed by the artist. Where the signature is located does not have an effect on the value.Irena Orlov ArtMarch 1, 2021Yes. Prints may not have great value, but it increases if they are signed by a renowned artist. But other factors also play a role, such as a limited edition and one-of-a-kind. If a large number of people have a work, the exclusivity and therefore the value are reduced.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Many art lovers believe that buying signed prints is worth it. Signed prints, especially hand-signed rather than plate-signed signatures, are often part of limited edition series. As a result, they may increase in value over time. Plus, compared to paintings, prints tend to be more affordable, making it possible to build a collection of art with less of an investment. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in art prints is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Shop a wide range of signed prints and other art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024Many art lovers believe that a signed print is worth buying. Art prints make it possible to build a collection of art at a lower price than what you'd typically expect to pay for paintings, and you can choose from thousands of options. Signed prints are particularly desirable because they often translate to added value on the secondary market, particularly when the artist signed them by hand. However, whether or not it's worth investing in signed art prints is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find art prints and other art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023Whether plate-signed prints are worth anything depends on the artist, the rarity of the piece, its condition and other factors. While artists’ editions tend to be more affordable and available than his or her unique works, and so new collectors are often directed toward prints as a starting point, accessibility, however, does not mean prints appreciate at a different pace from other mediums. The market for paintings increases parallel to the prints market (and a signed work may be more valuable to collectors than an unsigned print). A certified appraiser or art industry professional can evaluate specific prints and determine their value. On 1stDibs, shop a range of prints from some of the world’s top galleries.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 5, 2024A signed Picasso print can be worth quite a bit of money. In 2022, a signed print titled "Le Repas frugal" ("The Frugal Repast") by the revolutionary Spanish artist sold for $8 million.
While a Cubist painting by the artist sold for $179 million in 2015, the price range for original Pablo Picasso prints is vast. A signed Picasso print can garner millions of dollars at auction, even as a lesser-known lithograph might sell for somewhere in the low five figures.
It's important to note that determining the value of any collectible depends on a variety of factors. Fine art prints are more valuable when they are signed by the artist, and experts suggest that a print's value can gradually increase over time. A signed Picasso print's precise worth, however, will depend on its condition (paper is fragile!), subject matter and provenance.
Larger prints as well as works in color are likely to be worth more than their smaller counterparts in black and white. The value of a print is also informed by whether the work is editioned or not, as well as the size and number of the edition. (A print from an edition run of 50 is theoretically more valuable than one from a run of 200.)
Picasso created "The Frugal Repast" at the end of what is known as his "Blue Period," in which the artist stuck to a monochromatic palette of blue and blue-green for most of the paintings he produced between 1901 and 1904.
The etching was made in 1904 in Paris using a recycled zinc plate that Picasso scraped clean of what was previously there. The print is part of what came to be known as the "Saltimbanque Suite," the artist's first major body of work in printmaking. And while Picasso had no formal training in printmaking, he was a tireless innovator with media, creating more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics and sculptures throughout his lifetime.
