Why are lithographs so expensive?
1 Answer
Lithographs are so expensive largely because of their properties. Compared to other types of prints, they tend to be more painterly, meaning they are better at capturing the qualities of color, stroke and texture featured in an original image. Since they bring paintings and other images to life in rich detail, artists and dealers can sell them for higher prices. Lithographs may also be expensive due to their rarity or creation by a famous artist. Shop a large selection of lithographs on 1stDibs.
