Artists Should Sign Their Artwork This Way!

- As an artist, picture framer, and art collector, I strongly believe that artwork should be clearly signed, titled, and dated. The signature on the front should be printed and have the artist's first and last name, and a middle initial is helpful too. On the back, the artist's name should be printed along with the title and date of the painting. The more information the artist can provide, the more historical value and personality the painting will have.
Good advice! I recently sold some paintings and I wasn’t sure if I should sign them on the front or the back. I decided to go with front, but tried to hide the signature in an inconspicuous spot so that it wouldn’t distract from the painting. The buyer also requested a note from me with more information about the paintings, which I assume he will keep with the paintings, but maybe it would have been a better idea to put the information on the backs of each painting.
I always put information on the back as well as a signature on the front. Someone years from now will find it helpful and hopefully interesting.
Interesting, thank you!
Welcome!
Thanks for the advice. I always wondered if printing maybe looked juvenile but that is all I can do with a brush. I do like to add to the back though. I'm a rebel like that. Fun story. I went to a thrift sale and found two small paintings I had done and sold years before. I told the woman they were mine and I was buying them back. She was so embarrassed. I thought it was funny.
Glad it was helpful! I've found a few of my own paintings in thrift stores too!
