Edna Hibel Title, Subject??

Hi everyone, wondering if someone could help me with title of this Hibel lithograph?? Is there a website to help with identifying titles of artists work?? Thanks in advance!!

Almost 5,000 pieces. Good luck

 

Generally, it takes a bit of searching to uncover a title, if one can at all. If you haven't done so already, I suggest you start with a Google Images search to see if a duplicate comes up.

Haven't found that specific work, but LOTS of others.....with prices, so you have a lot to search!!!!

It's also signed twice which usually means when the person bought it, they bought a piece the artist signed again AFTER it was printed.

 

Thanks, ya, this could take a while

 

Thank you Debora!!

 

Looks like I have some work to do!! Thank You

 

the pencil siggy is the only real one....the colored one is part of the prints printing...

 

Hi Bev, Thanks for your reply, so I,m assuming 2 signatures is better than 1 value wise. Thanks

 

Thanks Komokwa. Probably not selling this one anyway, I kinda like it

 

As @komokwa said, very common for a print to be "signed in the plate" (i.e. a printed signature) and to have a pencil signature also. In fact it is almost always like that with numbered prints.

 

Absolutely not! A print which is signed in the plate is more often than not a reproduction of an image produced in another medium (i.e. drawing or painting). The numbering and pencil signature and paper quality are the only things that would differentiate this from a run of the mill poster. In addition the signature looks a bit sketchy compared to most of the Hibel pieces I have seen over the years.

 

We will have to agree to disagree then.

I suggest you read my post again s-l-o-w-l-y before replying again.

If the sig in plate is accompanied by pencil sig and number what's the big whoop?

 

The big whoop is that genuine limited edition graphics are not merely photomechanical reproductions. Perhaps our disagreement is merely one of semantics, to me “prints” means original graphic art rather than reproductions. It doesn’t matter how quickly or slowly I read your post, there is a huge difference between the two.

 

For a fee, the official Hibel web site does valuations for insurance purposes. I assume they would have to identify your work in the process.

Who said anything about photomechanical items? I was a print dealer for many years and prior to that graduated art school in printmaking, so I do have an understanding of "prints". Anyway, semantics? ....maybe.

 

Ditto...print dealer for 40 years plus an art history degree.


Here is tonights skill testing question. What’s the difference between an art history degree and a picnic table?

a picnic table can support a family!

 

Very similar to "How do you make a million dollars in the antique trade?"

ans: Start with two million.

 

Looks like this one is called 'Edna's Music', & this one is 'A Symphony of Art':
