Used art prints in Baltimore typically sell for $13 to $160. The whole value of a print is in what kind of print it is, and the most damaging mistake a seller can make is describing a reproduction in words that imply an original.
Selling art prints in Baltimore
Baltimore is a rowhouse city with a major university and medical complex at its centre. The houses are narrow and tall, so furniture is sized accordingly, and the medical and academic population turns over on fixed terms.
Residencies, fellowships and academic terms all end together, and each of those cycles puts furnished apartments onto the market at a predictable point in the year.
Rowhouse staircases are narrow with a tight turn, and that defeats more furniture than any other factor here. Street parking is competitive, so agree a time and a spot rather than turning up.
Baltimore, in Maryland, has around 590,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Baltimore
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
What art prints are worth
What lifts the price
- Signed and numbered limited editions
- Original gallery labels and certificates
What pulls it down
- Open-edition posters sold as limited prints
- Trimmed margins, which ruin an edition print
Working out what yours is worth
- Look for a pencil signature and edition number in the margin
- Check the margins are untrimmed
Getting it ready
- Check for a pencil signature and an edition number in the margin, and note whether the signature is in the plate rather than added by hand.
- Check the margins and the reverse for foxing, tape residue, trimming or light staining.

Put in the description
- Artist and title, and the year if known
- Print process, and edition number if there is one
Steady year round to a collector audience, with a lift in autumn. Named artists sell quickly when correctly identified; decorative prints compete on subject and framing.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
