Getting Unsigned Signed..Value wise?, by discoduster on Jul 12, 2008 12:24:36 GMT 1, Getting some of my unsigned prints signed at an exhibition.
Just curious what this does for the value and whether it actually depreciates in some cases?
I suppose if you have photographic evidence of the artist signing the actual print it would prove the signature to be genuine.

Artist integrity? Crikey! It's not that heavy surely?
I'm talking about a couple prints that were released without a Signed version.

Getting Unsigned Signed..Value wise?, by alsbabar on Jul 12, 2008 12:40:10 GMT 1, the piece you would have originally bought will be catalogued as unsigned, therefore you will need to get this information updated, which i doubt any gallery would do. I am not sure about the integrity of the artist, but it would bring into question the integrity of the print - and as you know, the more questions people have to ask about buying a print, the less inclined they would be prepared to pay for it, so in essence you may end up devaluing your original purchase.
If you intend to keep it for your own pleasure, then what does it matter

Didn't someone get Kate Moss to sign their Banksy print?

Getting Unsigned Signed..Value wise?, by felix on Jul 12, 2008 12:57:34 GMT 1, If you have only one copy, I would be worried they might do a bad signature or by mistake ruin the print!! But if they aren't too valuable I would definately get it done as it enhances the value hugely, for your own pleasure of course.

Getting Unsigned Signed..Value wise?, by goffy on Jul 12, 2008 13:55:40 GMT 1, Get them to sign it on the back if you are that worried. Personally I think it can only be a good thing to get it signed. Might be worth taking a photo though. Although I wouldn't bother bringing your own COA for him to sign! He would probably tell you to fuck off if you did.

Getting Unsigned Signed..Value wise?, by Ruggs on Jul 12, 2008 14:38:03 GMT 1, Get it signed! It does no harm at all and in all probability the print(s) will be worth considerably more with it. No brainer! I've got loads of Jamie Reid prints signed in person and in most cases photographs of him signing it too. Strong and unquestionable provenance in my opinion.

Ive always been wary of photographs of the artist signing the piece. He may have signed the ONE in the photograph but not the dozen or so knocked off by the dodgy seller.

Getting Unsigned Signed..Value wise?, by Ruggs on Jul 12, 2008 22:38:35 GMT 1, I was there in person whilst he signed my prints. So I know they're genuine. However, I would be wary and wouldn't rely on someone selling a signed item with just a photograph as proof. I would try and seek any other kind of COA or something that would guarantee proof of signature. If you're getting your prints signed in person then that's all that matters. I trust you want to keep them for sometime to come!
