Maybe the original.

Only we must bear in mind that now the world's counterfeit Chagall lithographs - much more so than probably all the works painted by Chagall.


And with the publisher that Comrade.

What do you think about etoy lithography:

Your question is very uncertain. However, your case is very interesting.

Illustrated edition: "Marc Chagall: Contes de Boccace. Prévert, Jacques & Calot, F. Paris, 1950, plates by Chagall in heliogravure and color lithographic reproductions from a Medieval manuscript", from which comes your illustration, offered to all 26 illustrations on
http://artextbooks.com/images/a14392.html
for $ 450. Relatively cheap. The fact that the illustrations are reproduced in it Chagall fotolitografskim way , ie they are not "classic" in the sense of direct lithography prints from stone, treated with Chagall. In fact it is - a high quality reproduction. Their price is low (see attachment, with the words "original lithograph" there are a few "little heated").

But you write that on your list - the original signature of Marc Chagall. This is a different matter. Fine, even if high quality is valued cheaply. Not signed by the author of an artistic work, even having artistic merit, and not valued very expensive - as the work of n /x. Now, alas, is more prized autograph of the artist than the artistic quality of his work. However, you have the autograph of the artist. But he put not on the original work, and in fact on its reproduction! As a signature is in itself ... separately from the original work.

Now, if this signature was on the original lithography (ie, stone), then it could cost several thousand dollars. How to determine the price in your case? I this is difficult. Let it do the more experienced forum users.

The certificate was issued by auction house in Zurich, Switzerland.
The company was founded in 1881.
Signed by 100%by Marc Chagall in his own hand.

[Игорь Гурьев]

Well, probably around $ 100 and worth it, to be sure it is signed by Chagall.


Just why he had to sign a reproduction?

But why should he sign reproductions?

Could ask for good friends - as an autograph from the artist or an athlete.

could ask for good friends - as an autograph from the artist or an athlete.

Perhaps most casual acquaintances when they meet somewhere on the opening day .

Comrade Brody , his wife, " Vava " carefully guarded Comrade . Chagall from outside contacts.
And not just from outsiders - even from old friends .
I once, long ago published in the "Russian idea " letter to Alexander Chagall Adolfovich bling , his good old friend, if not a friend.
And see how the tone of his letters to the 1960s ...
Some kind of detachment appears guilty , I would say ...

First of all, the auction house made ​​a mistake opisivaya graphic from the book as " an original lithograph ." Second, the estimate is very relative. Object is selling his autograph.

I bought two " lithography" and a poster for myself. In fact, the actual lithograph by Marc Chagall no signature may be worth more than podpisannaya illustration , but it was my fault . In the future I'll be careful with this company : http://freys-assets.com.

Actually, the real lithograph by Marc Chagall no signature may be worth more than podpisannaya illustration

It is not necessary.
It strongly depends on the circulation, creation and preservation of the degree of lithography.

An interesting fact is that this work comes from a prominent family Wertheimer.
