Victor Vasarely signed framed and matted serigraph print op art

Oh yah it would be valuable if it's signed by the artist. Thanks for the info!

Agreed, and great ideas, thanks Lucille.

 

I just don't see this as an authentic signed work.
It looks like an art card ( print)....and besides selling art cards for 12 years...I've bought and sold ltd ed prints...and signed posters.....& open edition prints for almost 30 years....
So , I see what I see !!!

Now , if the siggy is hand done....then I'm wrong about the value.....
& I'll own it !!
But until that's proven...I stand by what I've said !

 

I think you’re prob correct. I have no opinion on the sig komokwa as I can barely see it and was merely saying that IF it is handsigned it does have some value. If not, agree it’s decorative only but IMO decorative in a good way.

Garbage posters can be artist signed and suddenly they go from worthless to having value. I defer to all who can see detail on the signature-I cannot but I also wanted to comment that very small prints were made by Vasarely.

 

Garbage posters can be artist signed......

I've got a Benjamin Chee Chee...just like that....
poster...$15
Signed...$550

 

It seems to be well matted so if the frame is decent it should be worth closer to $40 or $50 but as mentioned, nowhere near what a proper editioned piece would sell for.

just to add a contrasting viewpoint to matters discussed upthread, artists proofs are not worth more than prints from the numbered edition as they are generally part of the overall print run ( trial proofs are often different as they were the experimental prints pulled prior to settling on final colours, etc.). Also, a lower edition number doesn’t mean that the print was pulled early...think of a clothesline, the first item pinned is the last one removed. In other words a print numbered 1/50 might have been pulled late in the print run but was at the top of the pile when it was time to sign and number the prints.

Savvy collectors look for a good impression rather than high or low edition numbers.

 

Artist Proofs ...we kept by the artist...and given or sold by him or her....so there's a little cachet to those..

 

Cachet perhaps, but I have never charged a premium for an artists proof.

 

I did, but only for a couple of big name artists...and only 10%...

 

Here is one of the works that had the Publisher's blind stamp for Editions Denise René, Paris. This was a large work. Really a great work for MCM collectors but still didn't achieve what I had hoped! Signed in graphite lower right margin; edition lower left, 2/225. Publisher's blind stamp for Editions Denise René, Paris. Approx. 45.5" x 28.25.
