Autolithographies, as I understand it, implies the handwritten signature of a living artist, or simply lithography. It seems there is no signature, why is "auto" and such a price?

The issue is likely to sss and Wladzislaw, as specialists in the printed schedule, which has already explained a lot.
Perhaps the only thing that I was not clear.

(More experienced when printing, offset prints are just as autolithography such and such "for a low price, which in my opinion discredits autolithography, among which are his masterpieces, and each of which is essentially the original (if color, then a unique) keeping the energy alive, direct contact with the artist (sorry, again pathos, but it's true ..)
PS now trying to fight for good autolithographies Lansky German auction, if successful, would be happy)
