Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) "The Crucifixion" woodcut, circa1498, on laid paper, watermark Bull's Head with Caduceus (Meder 81), a fine, richly black Meder a proof impression, before the text edition of 1511, printing very evenly and strongly Sheet 392 x 281 mm. |
Falling in lust for Salvador Dali's "Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus)" at the Metropolitan and Nick Cave's Soundsuits (found in the best museums everywhere) led us to collect their prints (Dali + Cave). With our modest budget, prints help satisfy a desire for works out of reach. Similarly, Old Masters, like Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt van Rijn might seem out of reach, but in two-days, Christie's offers a collection where bidding starts as low as $1,000 for a Dürer and as high as $15,000 for a Rembrandt. Collecting prints is the tip of the week.
