Printing Signed
can a print of a painting be signed by the artist – is it common?
I have a Qi Baishi print of a peony and I can see the dot pattern in the picture but the signature, chinese calligraphy, does not show the dot pattern but looks like ink – even has brush hairs left in the ink.I am asking if it is possible the artist signed the print? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
This is common with quality prints. A regular high volume press run with an actual signature could be thought of as an “autographed picture” rather than a “print signed by the artist.”. The value of such a print is significantly less and the autograph is of more value than the print itself. In cases where the highest quality prints are produced in limited editions, the print is considered a level of collectible fine art.
