1955 Original Poster by La Motta Rio de Janeiro Eucharistic Congress
1955 Original Poster by La Motta Rio de Janeiro Eucharistic Congress

1955 Original Poster by La Motta Rio de Janeiro Eucharistic Congress

By Paolo La Motta

Located in PARIS, FR

Created by La Motta in 1955, this original poster was commissioned for the 36th International Eucharistic Congress in Rio de Janeiro. Held from July 17 to 24, the congress was an important international Catholic gathering organized around the theme of Christ the Redeemer and his Eucharistic kingdom. The composition places Rio’s celebrated statue of Christ the Redeemer at the center of an expansive celestial vision. With his arms extended, Christ forms the upper section of a monumental cross rendered in the green and yellow colors associated with Brazil. Below, he stands upon a globe centered on South America, where a radiant star indicates the location of Rio de Janeiro. A deep blue background and surrounding constellation of stars give the poster a sense of spiritual grandeur. The restrained palette of blue, green, yellow and ivory combines religious symbolism with the visual identity of Brazil, while the bold typography at the bottom clearly announces the congress and its dates. Signed La Motta in the lower right, the design is characteristic of mid-century event posters, using simplified forms and carefully balanced geometry to communicate a powerful message from a distance. The poster was printed by Rebizzi in São Paulo. This original 1955 poster is an evocative document of Brazilian religious and cultural history. Its striking combination of Christ the Redeemer, cartographic imagery and modern graphic design makes it particularly appealing to collectors of Brazilian posters...

Fine Art Prints for Sale — Animal Prints, Abstract Prints, Nude Prints and Other Prints

Decorating with fine art prints — whether they’re figurative prints, abstract prints or another variety — has always been a practical way of bringing a space to life as well as bringing works by an artist you love into your home.

Pursued in the 1960s and ’70s, largely by Pop artists drawn to its associations with mass production, advertising, packaging and seriality, as well as those challenging the primacy of the Abstract Expressionist brushstroke, printmaking was embraced in the 1980s by painters and conceptual artists ranging from David Salle and Elizabeth Murray to Adrian Piper and Sherrie Levine.

Printmaking is the transfer of an image from one surface to another. An artist takes a material like stone, metal, wood or wax, carves, incises, draws or otherwise marks it with an image, inks or paints it and then transfers the image to a piece of paper or other material.

Fine art prints are frequently confused with their more commercial counterparts. After all, our closest connection to the printed image is through mass-produced newspapers, magazines and books, and many people don’t realize that even though prints are editions, they start with an original image created by an artist with the intent of reproducing it in a small batch. Fine art prints are created in strictly limited editions — 20 or 30 or maybe 50 — and are always based on an image created specifically to be made into an edition.

Many people think of revered Dutch artist Rembrandt as a painter but may not know that he was a printmaker as well. His prints have been preserved in time along with the work of other celebrated printmakers such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol. These fine art prints are still highly sought after by collectors.

“It’s another tool in the artist’s toolbox, just like painting or sculpture or anything else that an artist uses in the service of mark making or expressing him- or herself,” says International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) vice president Betsy Senior, of New York’s Betsy Senior Fine Art, Inc.

Because artist’s editions tend to be more affordable and available than his or her unique works, they’re more accessible and can be a great opportunity to bring a variety of colors, textures and shapes into a space.

For tight corners, select small fine art prints as opposed to the oversized bold piece you’ll hang as a focal point in the dining area. But be careful not to choose something that is too big for your space. And feel free to lean into it if need be — not every work needs picture-hanging hooks. Leaning a larger fine art print against the wall behind a bookcase can add a stylish installation-type dynamic to your living room. (Read more about how to arrange wall art here.)

Questions About Prints and Multiples

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Artist proofs often command a higher price because of their rarity.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Yes, numbered art prints may be worth something. The artist who produced the print and its age, subject matter, image condition and overall condition all contribute to its value. In addition, the number of prints that were in the series will also influence a piece's potential value. If you have a numbered print, a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can help you determine how much it may be worth. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of art prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    Whether numbered prints are valuable varies. Having a number doesn't necessarily indicate that a print will sell at a high price point. However, numbering can indicate that a print is original, which can have a positive effect on its value. Factors that determine how much a print is worth include its age, maker, the quality of the image, the condition of the paper and the number of prints produced in the series. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of art prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Yes, many art lovers believe that prints are worth collecting. Because they are often less expensive than paintings, prints can be a good way to build an art collection. Many collectors focus on acquiring prints from a particular artist, region, art movement or time period, while others create thematic or subject matter-focused collections. Truly, whether or not it’s worth investing in art prints is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find prints and other art for sale on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    Whether gallery prints are worth anything varies. A gallery print is usually a reproduction of an original painting produced with a high-tech inkjet printer on canvas. Because these works are usually mass-produced and not numbered, they usually don't have the same value as limited edition prints made by an artist. However, there may be exceptions to this rule. A certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can help you determine if a particular gallery print has value on the secondary art market. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of art prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Traditional printmaking is an art form that involves producing images by transferring a work of art from a matrix made of wood, metal, glass or another material onto another surface. The term encompasses a few techniques, including woodcut, etching, engraving, lithography and screen printing. Many well-known artists have engaged in traditional printmaking. Some of the famous producers of traditional prints include Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of art prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    In limited editions, a fixed number of prints is produced from one plate with the understanding that no further ones will be made.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    Yes, an artist's proof may be valuable. Generally, an artist's proof may sell for 20 to 50% more than the going price for a limited edition print from its series. However, the value of prints varies greatly depending on the artist, subject, age and condition. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can give you an idea of how much a particular proof may be worth. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of art prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Linocut printing was invented near the start of the 20th century. The technique first emerged in Germany as a way to make intricate patterns on wallpaper. However, it was the Bridge group of German Expressionist artists who popularized it in art. Formed in 1913, the Bridge group, or Die Brücke, sought to create a bridge to the future with their art. Artists Erich Heckel, Max Pechstein, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff were among its members. Explore a wide variety of art prints on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    Yes, some limited edition art prints are worth money. Because only a certain number of prints are produced in a limited series, they often increase in value over the years. Factors like the artist, age, image quality and overall condition of the print will determine how much a particular piece is worth. To find out the value of any prints you own, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Explore a diverse assortment of art prints on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    Yes, many art lovers believe that limited edition prints are worth buying. Because artists produce only a certain number of limited edition pieces, prints from these series may increase in value over time. Prints are also generally an economical way to grow an art collection based on your interests. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in limited edition prints is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find art prints and other art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a brayer and a roller comes down to size and design. A brayer is generally smaller than a roller. Handle designs also differ, with rollers featuring integrated handles that extend along the full width of the rolling area and brayers being equipped with separate handles. Both types of tools are useful for spreading ink during printmaking. Shop a wide variety of art prints on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a lithograph and a giclée is in the techniques used to produce each type of print. A giclée print is usually a reproduction of an artwork created by using a sophisticated specialized inkjet printer connected to a computer. The lithographic process begins by drawing or painting on a stone surface with an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or oily wash called a tusche. The stone is then covered with water, which is repelled by the oily areas. Oil-based ink is then applied to the wet stone, adhering only to the oily image. The stone is then covered with a sheet of paper and run through a press. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    Yes, print proofs may be worth something. Also known as an artist's proof, a print proof is one that an artist makes for themselves or to test the printing process rather than for sale. The exclusivity of artist's proofs can make them worth more than other prints, especially if they still bear the artist's signature. However, the artist, historical significance, image quality and condition of artist's proofs will also influence how much they are worth. To learn the potential value of your prints, use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Find a large collection of art prints on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    How prints are made from original paintings varies. For centuries, the primary methods were traditional printmaking techniques such as engraving, etching, aquatint, drypoint and woodcut. Today, many artists use digital technology, scanning and photographing paintings and then using the files to produce giclée prints using large, specialized inkjet printers. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of art prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Art prints typically increase in value, but this depends on the artist and whether demand for his or her work increases over time.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    To find out how much your print is worth, conduct some research using trusted online resources. By looking at what similar prints by the same artist sold for in the past, you can get a rough idea of the value of your piece. However, other factors, such as the image quality and the condition of the paper, will also impact how much you might be able to sell your print for. As a result, it's a good idea to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer assist you with the valuation process. Shop a large collection of art prints on 1stDibs.

    Printmaking changed art by making it more accessible. Prior to the advent of printmaking, it wasn't possible to reproduce multiples of an image, so art was only available to wealthy individuals who could purchase or commission works.
