Finding the Right Prints And Multiples for You
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 Original Lithograph 1950s
- Is a lithograph an original?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024No, a lithograph is not an original. Lithographs are prints, which are authorized reproductions of works produced by artists. To produce a lithograph, an artist applies an image to a stone. Then, they treat the stone with chemicals to impart the image into it. Finally, they apply ink and transfer the image onto paper or another medium. Shop a large selection of lithographs on 1stDibs.
- What is an original lithograph?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021An original lithograph is a print made by way of a specific printing method (one of the most commonly used methods in the 20th and 21st centuries). With respect to lithography, the process begins by drawing on or painting on a stone surface with an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or tusche (an oily wash). 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between a lithograph and an original is that one is used to produce the other. An original is the term for the stone upon which an artist paints an image using an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or tusche, a type of oily wash. The lithograph is the print that an artist makes with an original. To create a lithograph, oil-based ink is 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 diverse assortment of lithographs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023To tell a lithograph from an original, look for the signature. On originals, the signature will usually be on the back, while a lithograph will showcase the artist's mark on the front. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of lithographs from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To tell if a lithograph is original, first look at it closely with a magnifying glass. Originals will typically display noticeable dots, while copies may lack these details. The artist's signature can also be a clue. Most original lithographs will be hand-signed with ink or pen on the back or in a margin. The signature will be printed on a reproduction.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between an offset lithograph and an original lithograph is that the former is made using the other. To produce an original lithograph, a printmaker begins by drawing on or painting on a stone surface with an oil-based substance. 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. An offset lithograph is a copy of an original lithograph produced with mechanical processes, usually without the artist's involvement. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of lithographs and other art prints.
