What are art prints and why are they valuable?

440 views

I always thought art prints were just easily replicable copies of original art and were otherwise cheap and worthless. I literally thought they could just be a piece of original art that was copied and reproduced from a printer… but it seems like a print of a famous piece can be quite valuable.

What exactly are art prints and why can they have lots of value even though they aren’t originals?

They are just printed copies, but are the copies the artist made initially. They are valuable the same way the number one first copy first edition book is valuable, even if it’s physically the same as any other printed copy
