Is a signed painting worth more?

1 Answer
Is a signed painting worth more?
Yes, a signed painting is often worth more. A signature is one way authenticators determine whether a piece of art is genuine or a reproduction. As a result, paintings that bear an original signature may fetch more than those that do not at auctions. However, some artists never or rarely signed their work, such as Mark Rothko and Vincent van Gogh. To get an estimated fair market value for a signed painting that you own, consult a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Find a large selection of paintings on 1stDibs.
