Are prints worth collecting?
1 Answer

Yes, many art lovers believe that prints are worth collecting. Because they are often less expensive than paintings, prints can be a good way to build an art collection. Many collectors focus on acquiring prints from a particular artist, region, art movement or time period, while others create thematic or subject matter-focused collections. Truly, 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. Find prints and other art for sale on 1stDibs.
