How Much is a Japanese Print Original?
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024To tell if a print is an original, examine the details closely. Typically, original prints feature high-quality textured paper rather than smooth poster-type paper. In addition, original prints will usually feature the artist's signature and a number in pencil or pen. If the signature is printed on it, the print is less likely to be original. When in doubt, a knowledgeable art dealer or experienced appraiser can assist you with identifying original prints. Shop a large collection of prints on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Japanese woodblock prints, which date back to the 8th century and are also known as ukiyo-e, are a traditional art form originally produced only in Buddhist monasteries to produce religious texts and images. In the 17th century, private studios began opening as woodblock prints became popular. To make a woodblock print, the artist creates a design on paper, and a wood carver places it on the block and carves the design. Each color requires its own woodblock, which are then covered with watercolors and printed on rice paper. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Japanese woodblock prints from top sellers around the world.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell an original Banksy print, focus on the Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity, which will accompany nearly all genuine prints by the street artist. Pest Control is the association responsible for selling and authenticating Banksy's work and is a big part of why he has remained anonymous over the years. In 2020, Pest Control updated its Certificate of Authenticity design, but you can find images of both the current and earlier certificates online to compare to yours. One of the most striking elements of both designs is a halved British 10-pound note affixed to its surface. During an authentication, Pest Control retains the other half and can match the bill fragment to the certificate. You can also pay a fee to have Pest Control perform an authentication for you. Refer to the official Pest Control website for more information. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Banksy art.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024How 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 ExpertApril 5, 2024To tell a print from an original painting, study its surface carefully. On a painting, you will likely notice variations in texture and see visible brushstrokes. Prints are more likely to appear smooth due to the printing process. However, some prints may be enhanced with hand-applied brushwork after the production process, which may make it more difficult to tell a painting from a print. When in doubt, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer. Explore a wide range of fine art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if an Audubon print is an original, research the print using trusted online resources and print catalogues available in many libraries. Learn about the watermark, plate mark, sheet dimensions, paper type, plate marks and signatures found on authentic prints from the series. Then, use this information to evaluate your print. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer authenticate your print. Find a selection of John James Audubon prints on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if a watercolor is an original or a print, look at it from the side. On an original piece, you'll notice an uneven surface due to the brushstrokes that form the watercolor. Prints will typically have smooth surfaces. You can also examine the artist's signature. If it appears to be printed on rather than hand-signed, your watercolor is likely not an original. For further assistance, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of watercolor paintings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024A print of an original painting is usually called a reproduction or reproduction print. Today, many reproduction prints are giclée prints. To produce a giclée print, a printmaker first scans a painting, drawing or other work of art. Then, they use a high-quality inkjet printer to transfer the image onto canvas or paper. Explore a large selection of prints on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Yes, some Japanese woodblock prints are valuable. Prices vary greatly, with some selling for hundreds of dollars and others fetching selling prices of over a million at auction. Makers have a big influence on the price, with prints from masters like Hiroshige, Hokusai and Kitagawa Utamaro often having the greatest value. Other things that determine how much woodblock prints are worth include the quality of the image, the condition of the print, its age, its rarity and the demand among collectors.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024To tell if a Maxfield Parrish print is original, consider its condition and appearance. Replicas tend to appear brand new and have a glossy, vinyl-like look.

Because it can be difficult to authenticate Maxfield Parrish's work independently, you may wish to use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer. Find a selection of Maxfield Parrish art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024How much original Currier & Ives prints are worth depends on their age, image quality, overall condition and other factors.
