I went to a store today that specializes in home decor. Strangely interesting, perfect for cat pirate fans.

The Church of the Spilled Blood, St. Petersburg
Watercolor or unknown print method with added color
It is signed on the mat which was common for tinted photos or prints and I can’t read the signature so a little investigation is needed.
If anyone recognizes the signature please tell me.

Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made on inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used loosely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops to suggest high quality printing, but is an unregulated word with no associated warranty of quality.
About color reproductions, I love them and have no qualms about hanging them in my home. I don't think I will ever own a original Dufy but I have a nice poster that makes me happy purchased sixty years ago for one dollar. My question here is value for product, the commercial side of fine art.
At Kennedy Galleries we did a good business in the sale of John Stobart limited edition color offset prints. Asked if the value would increase over time most of the sales staff would say something vague about the secondary market but few would guarantee a growth in value. The average price was five hundred for a hand signed print, forty years later the secondary market hovers around six hundred for many of his prints. Fair market value?

The art gallery was a trip. Sort of like the level of art you would find at your average mall but relentlessly hyped by the staff. Peter Max is a big seller, unfortunately he hasn't done any original work in years due to dementia. His people have been creating "original" works which he has been coerced to sign.
I really admire his work, it's a shame how a brilliant career is ending.
