Selling art prints in Tucson
Tucson combines a large university with a substantial retired and seasonal population, which is an unusual mix. Bikes do exceptionally well because the city is flat and the riding season effectively never ends.
Two cycles overlap here: students on the academic year, and seasonal residents who arrive for the winter and leave in spring. The spring departures are the better buying window of the two.
Flat, gridded and easy to drive, with plenty of parking. From June to September handovers happen early or late for the same reason they do in Phoenix, and shaded meeting points are worth naming.
Tucson, in Arizona, has around 545,000 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. Phoenix, Mesa and Chandler are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Tucson
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
What art prints are worth
What lifts the price
- Small edition sizes
- Unfaded colour with clean margins
What pulls it down
- Open-edition posters sold as limited prints
- Sun fading, which is irreversible
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 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.
Photograph
- The whole print flat and square on, entire sheet including margins
- The reverse, plus any foxing, tape, tear or trimmed edge
Put in the description
- Artist and title, and the year if known
- Whether the signature is hand-applied in pencil or printed in the plate
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.
