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.
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.
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. Simona
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.
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?
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!
Husband: “What dumb stuff are you watching now? You realize you already have a lucrative career right?” After the 7th video, also Husband: “Wow, she’s really smart, find another one about art!” 🤩
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 ):
Speaking of prints...what about giclees? I haven't found any of your videos addressing this topic. I have 3 Dorit Levi Giclees that are absolutely fabulous. Thoughts?
@@DrLoriV I already have your one month service...maybe I should just include one? I've actually acquire 2 of them. My prized possessions. :) Favorite artist, even though it's not an antique.
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?
i found a couple of Chinese pics at a goodwill....the guy that was loading them in my truck asked why'd i buy them...I'm like cause they're beautiful and unique....he went on to tell me that they have value because one of them is number 124 of 300 anyway i can send u pics to check....I'll humbly appreciate it....and what else can i look for to authentic their value
Hi Francina, If you shop a lot for antiques, I have a service that might be helpful where you can send me pictures at any time for me to provide my expertise. You can learn more on my website to get started. You can also consider other options for a work and get a written report.
I have a painting that says altman on the back. I cant tell if there is a signature because of the frame. Its an original oil painting. If it was harold altman would it be worth alot of money?
I have to see it. Experts don't rely on signatures anyway. If you want you can send me pics to review the painting. See my website for a form to use to upload photos.
@@silkyjohnson4519 Our current policy is you make a submission. I review what you submitted. If the piece is worth more than the appraisal fee I tell you how to pay if you want to proceed to receive a report. If the piece is not worth the appraisal fee I tell you it is not the worth the appraisal fee. You can decide to pay to continue and receive a report or don't proceed knowing your piece is worth less than the appraisal fee.
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..
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?
Lori, you said you would talk later about different types of prints, such as lithos, and you'd also talk later about print runs ... but you didn't talk about these things. You seemed to rush to the advert aspect of your gig. Hmmm.
Hi Dizzy, I talk about other prints in other videos both on my channel here and on my website at www.DrLoriV.com/videos. I also offer details in several recent blog posts at www.DrLoriV.com/blog. Hope this helps.
How do I get your email to send you photos of my print I have a pint of aruhur claude strachan out side cottage cross and on The frame at the back number is 121 And 121 and sicker at back says art produced by parker blake in c Purley # 121 out side the cottage fl 1.garnden corridor location f51./6b is it worth enythink

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

Is #4 of #100 print run good? I have a gold ballerina print and can’t find any info on it?
Many factors affect value. I can help, but need to see your piece. Check out my website for options
where do I send funds for unlimited over views and the cost..?? where are you based at ? are coming to Arizona soon?
All answers to those questions are on my website :)

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