What are art prints and why are they valuable?

460 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?

Mostly they are produced by the artist to as high a standard as possible. Limited run of numbered prints give them some sort of scarcity value that people will pay for.
