Questions About Vintage Printing Plates
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    Whether 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.
