How much is a John Piper painting worth?

1 Answer
How much is a John Piper painting worth?
How much a John Piper painting is worth depends on its condition, history and other factors. In November 2013, his 1935 work Abstract Painting sold for more than $617,000, setting an auction record for the British artist. Piper is best known for his extensive studies of British architecture and landscapes in oil, watercolor and prints. In the mid-1930s, after a visit to Paris, he turned to abstraction, and his record-setting work reflects this shift in his style. If you own a Piper painting, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can give you an estimate of its value. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of John Piper art.

A striking piece by Piper also presented in the Tate collection. This print is one of an extensive series titled ‘Eye and Camera’, the first of which were made in 1967.

This is a signed original screenprint from the Kelpra/Tate Gallery portfolio of seven prints published in 1980 in an edition of 150, to celebrate the Kelpra Studio Exhibition at the Tate Gallery.
