Reproduction Market

What a hand painted reproduction costs, who sells them, and what museums actually hang.

About these guides

Prices for reproductions run from a few dollars to several thousand, and the spread confuses almost everyone at first. These guides open up the market: what drives the price of a hand painted canvas, why size and detail matter more than the name of the original artist, how galleries and museums use reproductions in their own spaces, and where the cheap end of the market is actually selling you a print. We include the numbers we can stand behind and say plainly when a figure is an estimate. For our own work the structure is straightforward. A trained artist paints each canvas to order in oil, the price follows the size and the complexity of the original, you approve a photograph of the finished painting, and it ships rolled in a tube with a certificate of authenticity.
