Question
: I OWN A PRINT by Leighton-Jones can you give some idea to its value?
Answer
: Because
of the range of galleries and dealers selling Leighton-Jones’ artwork it is impossible to give an accurate valuation for a specific piece. In any event, we
are artists, not dealers, and at this time we do not provide appraisal
valuations. However, we can offer the following general information that may be
of assistance. Among
the factors affecting the price of a print are the subject matter, edition
size, the quality (of both the reproduction and printing media), presence of the
artist’s signature and personalization, as well as normal market fluctuations.
Small,
unsigned, open edition prints can be purchased for under $100. Large,
high-quality prints on archival-quality paper in small editions, signed by the
artist can realize over $2000 (for popular images).
