Many artist have their original watercolor/oils or charcoal works lithographed into a numbered set (limited #). These are relatively inexpensive to the buyer, however, like a signed book from the auther, some artist will sign these limited numder and that increases the value of the print (dependent on the popularity of the artist). Some will sign a print that is not numbered, this will also increase the value. For autograph collectors these are great, but it is still wholely dependent on the artist rep and popularity. Hope this answered your question.

What does it mean if a print is Signed and numbered?

A print that is signed and numbered indicates that it is part of a limited edition. The artist signs the print to authenticate it, and the number indicates its position within that edition (e.g., 5/50 means it's the fifth print out of a total of 50). This practice adds value and rarity to the artwork, distinguishing it from open edition prints. Collectors often seek signed and numbered prints for their exclusivity and the direct connection to the artist.

What does C E mean next to numbered hand signed print?

CE refers to "Collector's Edition" and may denote a limited number produced, often under the direct supervision of the artist. LE, or "Limited Edition" is also a common abbreviation used and indicates, as the label suggests, that a finite number of impressions were produced. In many cases, both CE and LE prints will be hand numbered to reveal how may impressions were created, and the specific number of the print in question. For example, "4/12" would imply that the print was the fourth print produced in a set of twelve.


As pertaining to art work what does stone signed mean or signed in the stone thank you?

When an artist prepares a work such as a lithograph from which multiple prints can be made, he or she will sometimes sign the work 'in the stone', that is, on the master prior to the printing process. Added authenticity and value are added when an artist signs a print with his name, usually in pencil, in the margin, after the printing process is complete, indicating which number the print is in the print run. Thus, if 100 images are printed and you are looking at the 35th image printed from the master, the artist will write 35/100. The first few images before the prints are numbered are usually retained by the artist and are marked A/P, without a number. An A/P, or a print which is numbered with a low number in the print run is considered more desirable than a later number. A genuine limited edition original print means that the master is defaced after the print run is complete to ensure that no further copies are made.

What does it mean when art is double signed?

When art is double signed, it typically means that the artist has signed the work in two different places or has included a second signature, which could represent a collaboration or a different phase of the work. This can add value and authenticity, as it may indicate the artist's involvement at multiple stages. Additionally, double signing can highlight the artist's intent or serve as a way to signify the artwork's importance.
