Just recently, an etching by Pablo Picasso, La Minotauromachie, sold for a record-breaking $1.98 million.

For this reason, original prints have been known to sell for over a million USD at auctions. The prints made by our favorite artists are just as original as their sculptures, paintings, or photographs - there are just more of them.įirst and foremost, printmaking is an art. These artworks bear the trace of the artist’s hand, as well as the marks of the printer the artist has chosen to work with. The truth is that fine art prints, even on those rare occasions when they do take the poster form, are original artworks in their own right.

Like posters hanging on a wall, mechanically reproduced and sold.

What exactly are fine art prints? A standard misconception novice collectors have is that all prints are reproductions.
