Is an artist's proof worth more?

1 Answer
Is an artist's proof worth more?
Yes, an artist's proof may be worth more than a regular edition print. The reason for this is that there is a smaller number of artist's proofs since these prints are ones that the artist produces and then holds back rather than offering for sale. Depending on the image quality and overall condition, an artist's proof is usually worth 20% to 50% more than an edition print. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can provide a more specific valuation for your print. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of art prints from some of the world's top galleries and dealers.
