Are lithograph prints worth anything?
1 Answer
Whether lithograph prints are worth anything depends on a number of factors. Some things that may help determine the value of a given print include who the printmaker was, what the subject matter is / what the specific print is and how many lithographs were made in the series. The condition of the print as well as the market for the artist will also play a role in determining how much it's worth. Experts recommend that you consult a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer for assistance. On 1stDibs, shop a range of lithograph prints from some of the world's top galleries.

About Lowell Nesbitt.
Lowell Nesbitt, who was born in Baltimore on Oct. 4, 1933, was a graduate of the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia and also attended the Royal College of Art in London, where he worked in stained glass & etching. In 1964, the Corcoran Gallery or Art in Washington gave him one of his first museum exhibitions, and by the mid 1970's he had decided to leave the museum a bequest of more than $1 million.
