Questions About Boris O'Klein Art
- 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.
