Original Print
In the University exhibition was
a Picasso print from the Vallard
Suite series priced at $5,000.
According to Gregory Murphy,
director of the exhibit, "original"
prints are ones done by the artist
without any mechanical aid. It does
not necessarily mean that it is the
only one of its type. When an artist
produces a one-of-a-kind it is called
a unique print; however, when
many are produced alike, they are
all original.
The best way for a buyer to be
sure he is getting an original and
not a reproduction is to know who
he is buying from, according to Mr.
Murphy. The integrity of the dealer
is one's best assurance of a fair deal,
he said.
The galleries were founded in
1932 by Ferdinand Roten. Mr.
Roten arrived in the United States
in the early 20's and was so
successful at selling the print
collections consigned to him by
needy immigrant friends that he
began to import and sell the works
of key expressionists - Kirchner,
Nolde, and Kaethe Kollwitz.
