Lithography

A lithograph is a numbered and signed art print. It is an accessible and collectible original artwork for wall decoration.

A numbered lithograph (e.g., 12/150) has more value. Frame it with a mat and anti-UV glass to protect it.

Pitfall: a lithograph in direct sunlight that discolors. Inks are sensitive to UV; protect it with anti-UV glass.

To frame a lithograph, choose a quality frame that will protect the artwork from UV rays and humidity. Use anti-reflective glass and ensure that the mounting is done with conservation materials to preserve the value of your lithograph in the long term.

A lithograph is an original, hand-made art print that offers better print quality and greater artistic value than a simple digital print. Each lithograph is unique, numbered, and signed by the artist, making it a more sought-after and collectible work of art.

To verify the authenticity of a lithograph, make sure it is numbered and signed by the artist. Also, ask for a certificate of authenticity and inquire about the gallery or publisher that issued the work. Be wary of lithographs without numbering or with dubious signatures.

A limited edition lithograph has a restricted number of copies, generally fewer than 300. Each copy is numbered and signed by the artist, making it a rarer and more valuable work. An open edition lithograph has no print limit and is therefore less sought after by collectors.

To display a lithograph in your home, choose a location away from direct light and humidity. Hang it in a place where it will be well highlighted, without risk of damage. You can also integrate it into a harmonious decorative arrangement to enhance your interior.
