How much is a Norman Rockwell artist's proof worth?
1 Answer
How much a Norman Rockwell artist's proof is worth depends on its condition, size, history and other factors. Generally, Rockwell's artist's proofs are worth more than standard limited edition prints of the same subject and quality because fewer were made, and selling prices for them are often in the thousands of dollars. Rockwell is among the most revered painters of the 20th century. His figurative and portrait paintings reflect an innocent and idyllic America described by the artist as "life as I would like it to be." For nearly 50 years, he illustrated the covers of The Saturday Evening Post in a rich and emotive style that gave distinctive personalities to his imagined characters. In total, Rockwell created more than 4,000 works of art throughout his life. To get a valuation performed on your artist's proof, use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer.

Norman Rockwell was an American painter and illustrator known for his iconic depictions of American culture created for The Saturday Evening Post.

As an artist, Rockwell has had a lasting effect on US society beyond any singular work, with his paintings seen as indelible images that went on to inspire American directors such as George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and particularly Robert Zemeckis, whose 1994 film Forrest Gump recreates several of Rockwell’s paintings as scenes throughout the film.

Born on February 3, 1894 in New York, NY, he went on to study at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League.
