Selling art prints in Durham
Durham has a cathedral and castle on a peninsula inside a loop of the Wear that together form a World Heritage Site, and a collegiate university that dominates the city. The miners’ gala each July is one of the largest trade union gatherings in Europe.
The university dominates the city and clears college and student housing at fixed points each year, which is overwhelmingly the main cycle here. Books, desks and bikes move in volume at those moments.
The peninsula is steep, cobbled and largely closed to vehicles, so arrange anything large for outside it. The station is above the city and the walk down is steep.
Durham, in England, has around 48,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What art prints are worth
What lifts the price
- Original gallery labels and certificates
- Unfaded colour with clean margins
What pulls it down
- Sun fading, which is irreversible
- Foxing and damp staining on paper
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the margins are untrimmed
- Photograph any gallery label on the reverse
Getting it ready
- Look at the print under magnification. Regular dot patterns mean a mechanical reproduction; continuous ink or plate texture suggests an original process.
- Check the margins and the reverse for foxing, tape residue, trimming or light staining.
Photograph

- The reverse, plus any foxing, tape, tear or trimmed edge
Put in the description
- Sheet and image dimensions, and whether it is framed or mounted
- Whether the signature is hand-applied in pencil or printed in the plate
Artist, title, process and edition: “Signed Lithograph, [Artist], Edition 24/150, 1978”. Say screenprint, lithograph, etching or giclée reproduction — the process is most of the value. Never use the word original for something printed in an edition of thousands.
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.
