Are print proofs worth anything?

1 Answer
Are print proofs worth anything?
Yes, print proofs may be worth something. Also known as an artist's proof, a print proof is one that an artist makes for themselves or to test the printing process rather than for sale. The exclusivity of artist's proofs can make them worth more than other prints, especially if they still bear the artist's signature. However, the artist, historical significance, image quality and condition of artist's proofs will also influence how much they are worth. To learn the potential value of your prints, use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Find a large collection of art prints on 1stDibs.
