Joan Miró Vinyl Record Art (set of 2)
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Joan Miró vinyl album art: set of two, 1966 & 1979: Raimon and Joan Miró were close friends that first collaborated on the 1966 album Cançons de la roda del temps. In 1979, Miró designed a cover for the album Quan la aigua queixa, including the name of Raimon in large handwritten letters. As a result of this relationship, Raimon composed the song A Joan Miró, which creatively certified his admiration towards the painter. Off-set lithographs on vinyl record album covers...

Joan Miró - "Original Lithography VII" - color lithography - mourlot 863
Located in Winterswijk, NL
Joan Miró - "Original Lithography VII". Lithograph in colors from Litografo (Volume I) Spanish edition from 1972. Catalogue of works: Mourlot 863. Slight book fold in the centre of the paper. Miró's development of a new pictorial language led to a consistent restriction to the primary colours black, green, yellow, blue and red, which he implemented in the series of paintings "Constellations" (1940/41) with lines, spots and areas of colour. Like Pablo Picasso and Franz Marc, Miró also worked with graphics and primarily produced etchings and lithographs. Produced in large editions, the artist believed that everyone should be able to afford a print by Miró...

Serenade by George Grosz - 1923
Located in Roma, IT
Serenade from Ecce Homo is an original offset and lithograph, realized after a pen drawing by George Grosz. The artwork is the plate n. 70 from the portfolio Ecce Homo published between 1922/1923, edition of Der Malik-Verlag Berli, that includes offset lithograph prints. Numbered on plate on lower margin. Good conditions except for a yellowing of paper due to the time and some minor defects along the margin. Ecce homo is a selected compendium of 100 artworks (16 watercolors and 84 drawings) that Grosz realized from 1915 to 1922. The book is a real satire of post-war German life, with prostitutes, politicians, mutilated veterans,capitalists, and drunks in different states of despair, lust, and rage. The German government banned his artworks and Grosz was put on trial for public offense. George Grosz (1893 -1959) was a German artist known especially for his caricatural drawings and paintings of Berlin...

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.)
