Sell Alex Katz Prints

Many Alex Katz collectors own signed editioned works rather than original paintings. These may include lithographs, screenprints, silkscreens, etchings, aquatints, woodcuts, archival pigment prints, and prints on aluminum or other materials.

A signed Alex Katz print should not be valued only by its size or signature. The market can vary widely depending on the image, edition, date, condition, and how desirable the subject is to current buyers.

Modern Artifact looks at:

• Whether the work is hand-signed

• Whether it is numbered

• Whether the edition is known

• Whether the work appears in the relevant catalogue raisonné or print reference

• Whether the image is currently desirable

• Whether the colors remain strong

• Whether the sheet has damage, fading, stains, creases, mat burn, or trimming

• Whether the frame is original or archival

• Whether the seller has purchase documentation

Some Alex Katz prints have broad collector demand. Others require more careful placement. A realistic market review helps determine whether the work is best suited for direct purchase, consignment, or continued holding.
