Lithographs

Lithographs are a fine art printing technique developed in late 18th-century Germany and widely adopted across Europe in the 19th century. Initially used for image reproduction, lithography soon became a favored artistic medium, especially among major figures in art history.

The process relies on a chemical principle: the repulsion between water and grease. Artists draw directly onto a limestone plate with ink or greasy pencils, then the image is transferred to paper using a press. Over time, materials like zinc and aluminum replaced the original stone, without compromising artistic quality.

The golden age of art lithographs came in the 19th and 20th centuries, with artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Miró, and Picasso using this method to create original, limited-edition works that remain highly collectible today.

Modern lithographs continue to attract collectors thanks to their graphic richness and market value. Each print is typically numbered and often signed, with a certified print run that guarantees authenticity and rarity.

On Artsper, explore a curated selection of original lithographs — from 20th-century icons like Warhol, Vasarely, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Dali, to contemporary masters such as Yan Pei-Ming and Hervé Télémaque. Every piece is part of a limited edition of 300 or fewer, or signed by the artist.
