Start with medium, edition, signature, paper, plate mark, margins, condition, and frame. A signature or edition number helps, but it does not prove high value by itself.
Auction records are market evidence, not a final appraisal. Condition, authenticity, provenance, size, medium, edition, subject, and demand can materially change value.
Photo checklist
- Photograph the full print, frame, margins, signature, edition number, plate mark, blind stamp, paper texture, and back.
- Show close-ups in raking light, plus any labels, certificates, gallery tags, or publisher marks.
- Note foxing, fading, mat burn, stains, tears, trimming, waviness, and whether the glass touches the paper.
What changes the answer
- Artist, medium, edition size, signature, publisher, paper, condition, and provenance drive print value.
- Lithographs, etchings, serigraphs, woodblocks, photographs, and posters compare differently.
- Frames can protect prints, but framing can also hide condition problems.
