A print's value depends first on the artist and then on whether the artist signed it. In 2025–26 most Chagall and Miró prints at auction sold for about £1,000–5,000, authentic signed Dalí prints for about $500–5,000, Picasso's Madoura ceramics from about $2,000 and his signed lithographs for $15,000–60,000, and Warhol's 1960s Factory Additions screenprints for tens of thousands. Unsigned, posthumous and unauthorised editions sell for a fraction of those figures.
Figures reviewed September 2026
Most of the art people own by famous names is on paper or in an edition: a lithograph from a Paris studio, a plate from Vallauris, a screenprint from New York. The five artists below account for a large share of the questions asked about what such pieces are worth, and each has a market with its own rules.
Across all of them the same three questions set the order of magnitude. Did the artist sign it by hand? Is it recorded in the catalogue raisonné? Is it an original print or a photomechanical reproduction of one? A single wrong answer can move a figure from thousands to tens.
Every range here is an auction figure for good condition, dated and sourced — never an appraisal. The calculator gives a range from the kind of print, edition and condition; these pages add what the name does to it.

Questions we are asked
- Are signed prints worth more than unsigned ones?
- Almost always, and by multiples. A pencil signature applied by the artist separates a collector's impression from a book plate or a reproduction of the same image. Dalí is the exception, because he signed large numbers of blank sheets.
- How do I find out what my print is worth?
- Identify the artist and the image, look for a pencil signature and edition number, check the surface under a loupe for a dot pattern, then compare sold results — not asking prices — for the same catalogue number in similar condition.
- Is a lithograph an original work of art?
- An original lithograph, drawn on the stone or plate by the artist or under their direction and printed in an edition, is an original print. A photomechanical reproduction of a painting, even one called a lithograph, is not.
- Where should I sell an art print?
- Signed, catalogued prints by these artists sell best through auction houses' prints departments, where prices are public. Unsigned, posthumous and decorative editions are better suited to a print dealer or an online auction, where the fees are proportionate.
