Event Details

What is an original print? How do I know it is authentic? Is this a fair price? Join Blanton curator Holly Borham as she poses these questions to print dealers Carolyn Bullard and Susan Schulman, who collectively have 80 years of experience in selling museum-quality fine art prints. We will start with the basics, discuss general collecting strategies, caution against some pitfalls, and suggest avenues to build a personal print collection that reflects your interests and stays within your budget.
