About this badge
The second in a two-semester series, this course provides a foundation in the methodology for assessing and valuing prints from the early 20th century to the present, including artists such as Picasso, Miro, Warhol, Johns, and Hockney. A brief historical overview is accompanied by discussion of condition issues, forgeries, and researching prices and auction histories. Basic techniques, including relief, intaglio, lithography, screen printing, and digital printing are covered, as well as new technologies and alternative formats. A complementary course, The Appraisal of Old Master European and Early American Prints, is the first course in the series.
