I dont know how i missed this video when i was binge watching your channel. Invaluable advice as always !❤

Thanks Kira. Here is a link to the playlist of all of my videos at kzbin.info/aero/PL384695BCA1841B8F so you can binge watch them all to date --- 266 and counting

Thank you for your time and knowledge Dr Lori. Much appreciated!

[@DrLoriV]

Hi Edward and Simona, Thanks for you comment. The lower numbers in a print run are more sought after because they are closer to the artist's original work. Repeated printmaking can distort the original image as found in large print runs with high numbers. Inks are not always richer as you get farther into a print run since many distortions, mistakes, etc. can take place in large print runs as multiple prints are reproduced.

Hi Dr. Lori. I am a big fan! I do want to mention about the prints. I have worked in a gallery and also a printer. A lot of, if not most prints are printed as a giclee print. The ink is strong in the first print as well, like say, print number 1,000. We have printed many artists since the early 2000s using this technique and you can't tell which is the first or last print in an edition.

[@DrLoriV]

Good point. Remember, most of the prints I see are from circa 1550 to the present.

[@summerhillbotanicals]

You're the best! Thank you for all you do!

[@DrLoriV]

Edward/Simona makes a good point about the process of lithography. A good technical expert on lithography is the artist's and the collector's best resource.

[@edwardhernandez1854]

The better litho prints are achieved after the first several are printed...ink gets richer. This process is different from others...yes eventually the plate or stone needs to be refreshed but can run 100s before noticeable change...and can be used on different occasions if the plate is stored properly.

Hi Dr. Lori, first of all thank you for sharing your information and knowledge with everyone your videos are a very good source of how to deal with art. I don't understand much but I have 3 paintings in frames which were given to me and the gentleman told me his father gave them to him, I haven't got much other information on them so I have a question are there any paintings or prints on hardboard from Montague Dawson and or Rowland Hilder please? Thanks you advance.

[@DrLoriV]

Glad you enjoy the vids. I can help identify and value the works. Need to see them. Can you bring them to an event at www.DrLoriV.com/events or submit the information I need using the form on my website?

[@jaymz0235]

How can you tell if the signature is “real” and not part of the print? Is there a way to tell the difference between a printed signature and one signed by hand? Thank you Dr. Lori!

Thank you Dr Lori I have one called Kurt Frankenstein the old tree love that etching I have

[@joykenney8819]

I have a vintage 1930's Maud Tousey Fangel print of a sleeping g baby in a chair . I saw some on line but they were signed on the right this one is signed on the left . It looms like the original frame but the brown paper has been removed and there is old looking cardboard backing g and nails in the frame .it does have a wire hanger .

Hello Lori, if a print has no signature or numbers, I assume it is worthless? I have a print of an Adam Willearts painting and was hoping to find something on the painting, to no avail ):

[@DrLoriV]

The Mona Lisa is not signed. She is valuable. I can review your print. See how on my website at www.DrLoriV.com

Great. Are you seeking my help in some way?

[@sammy7237]

Congratulations.

[@jarlsoars1150]

So, there must be a basic formula, as a guideline to establish where each print in the run should fall value wise. How does the value drop or by what calculation? Print 1/100 will obviously be worth more than 59/100...is there a gradual factor for valuation based on this or does it drop exponentially more later on in the run?

[@DrLoriV]

Many other factors must be considered. I have articles on valuing prints on my website if you'd like to learn more.

[@jarlsoars1150]

Okay, I'll look into that, thanks a lot for the reply!

[@teampenit]

my boss has a lot of prints, why do they have the artist's name on it twice? They have the artist's signature in the 'regular' place, bottom right...but also over on the left side, in a different color..

[@DrLoriV]

Prints are often signed by the artist and the printer. So you may have a print with two different artists' names on the same print. The artist signs a print to note his/her creative work and the printer signs his/her name to indicate his/her production work. Sometimes there are latin terms next to these names like pinx or sculp along with artist's names too indicating the printer or the artist working on the printed plate. Learn how to tell a print from a poster and other info on my website.

@@DrLoriV hi Dr Lori. If the lithograph has only the artist pencil signed at the right but no number no printer is that more valuable than print with lot of fractions? Also some lithograph have only artist signed inside the painting isn't that considered original?
