Question assessment lithography
 

Please explain why such a difference in the price of lithographs of Marc Chagall?
         Lithograph by Marc Chagall.
     1. "David and Bathsheba", 1979., 32h23sm., Edition 44, price 24000 ($).
     2. "Trapeziste a l'Oiseau", 1967., 22h11sm., Circulation-, price 375 Euros

At first a small print run and I think it is personally signed by Chagall. Small photo, hard to see.

Signed - understandable, yet which may affect the price?
    Here's another work of 1956., 35h53sm., Circulation 200, price 1300E.
    I imagined from 1000 to 2000u.e., But the 20000-25u.e. Too big difference.

Usually a pencil. If the forum will Wladzislaw, then tell all the details. In this he is a good specialist.

I do not know why, but I somneie about the second photo, although it is more spectacular ... Regarding the first such experience is not, it is read Chagall peculiar intonation.

Price lithography depends on the author (fame, mastitis, etc.), circulation (the smaller the better) and the presence of a handwritten signature of the author. Usually the author in the lower left corner indicates the circulation, the right-signature and the year sozdaniya.Takie prints called autolithography (indicates that the author himself made prints at a printing press), the most valuable of lithography with the author's hand-coloring.

In connection with this topic I wish to notice that the "manual refinement, which is valuable, today there are new opportunities, but some collectors have bias associated with lack of understanding of the issue. Of course, Xerox is printing. But when the artist himself began to work with him, altering, dorisovyvaya and in doing so each time differently, the result often turns out very attractive and this is very far from what is called a replicating or does not deserve neglect ...(" it's Xerox). This is already being discussed among the artists and I want to draw attention to this point.

I do not understand where is the Persian King Xerxes (wrong spelling-Xerox) or Xerox Corporation - an American company, a pioneer of mass production copiers.
This is a lithograph - (from litho ... and ... graphy), method of planographic printing, which is printed surface of the stone (limestone), which fatty lithographic ink or pencil applied to the image. Invented in 1798.

My friend from London, a great master on sale Shagala.Posmotrite is interesting http://www.gildensarts.com/artist/92/Marc-Chagall.html

Yes, good Chagall.
For example:
All there and place, and the Jews, and the artist with a palette, and livestock, and even a clock with a pendulum. All set.
