Why These Prints Are In Demand

For prints and editions, value is shaped by more than artist name alone. Edition size, condition, signature status, colourway, rarity, provenance, and recent buyer appetite all play a material role in determining what a work could achieve.

The works in this list have been identified by our sales team because collectors are actively looking for them. In many cases, supply is limited. Some editions appear regularly enough to support a clear pricing history; others are so scarce that they may only surface privately, or at auction once every few years.

That imbalance between active demand and limited supply is where opportunity exists for sellers.

“A common thread across many of these works is that demand continues to grow despite regular market availability. Rather than diminishing as more examples sell, collector appetite is absorbing supply and supporting increasingly strong price levels for the market’s most recognisable images.”
Sheena Carrington, Market Editor, MyArtBroker

ANDY WARHOL

Andy Warhol remains one of the strongest and most liquid names in the prints and editions market. Demand is particularly concentrated around the images that define his market: celebrity portraits, highly recognisable Pop subjects, rare colourways, and complete or near-complete series.

African Elephant

Part of Warhol’s Endangered Species series, African Elephant is one of the most sought-after works from the series.

Auction history shows a clear long-term rise in value. When African Elephant first appeared at auction in 2002, it achieved a hammer price of £4,598 at Christie’s New York. By June 2025, the work reached £170,000 at Phillips London, with the buyer paying £215,900. Its most recent auction appearance, at Christie’s New York in April 2026, achieved a hammer price of £125,286, with the buyer paying £159,114.

Over the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £80,969 in June 2024 to £170,000 in June 2025. In the last 12 months alone, the work has seen just two recorded sales, with an average selling price of £147,643.

Marilyn Monroe: F. & S. II.23, II.24 and II.31

Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe portfolio is one of the defining print series of the post-war market. Created in 1967, the 10-part screenprint portfolio transformed a publicity still from Monroe’s 1953 film Niagara into an image of celebrity, repetition, glamour and loss. More than half a century later, it remains one of the most recognisable and commercially significant bodies of work in Warhol’s print market.

Recent auction data shows clear momentum. Between 2017 and 2025, 164 individual Marilyn prints and 12 complete sets sold publicly, generating a combined market value of £42.56million. Since September 2025, 26 individual lots have sold at an average hammer of £126,000, materially above the £104,000–£117,000 range recorded across 2023–2024.

Within the portfolio, colourway is one of the strongest pricing determinants. II.23, II.24 and II.31 sit among the top-performing examples: II.23 has realised £3.03million across 20 public sales, II.31 set a new colourway record at £300,000 in September 2025, and II.24 now holds the outright auction record for any individual Marilyn print, achieving £333,346 at Doyle in April 2026.

Mick Jagger F. & S. II.143

Warhol’s Mick Jagger (F.&S. II.143) is a strong crossover work, bringing together Pop Art, music history and celebrity image-making. Signed by both Warhol and Jagger, and produced in an edition of 250, F. & S. II.143 remains one of the most recognisable works from the 1975 portfolio.

The print has sold 22 times at auction since 2007. In the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £58,073 at Van Ham in December 2025 to £146,589 at Sotheby’s New York in October 2021. More recently, it achieved £85,000 at Sotheby’s London in March 2026.

Moonwalk

Warhol’s Moonwalk series has a strong auction history, with 71 recorded appearances and an average annual growth rate of 11.55%. Created in 1987, the series is one of Warhol’s final major print projects, transforming the Apollo 11 moon landing into an image of American spectacle and collective memory.

Recent results show continued demand. Moonwalk F. & S. II.405 achieved £190,000 at Sotheby’s New York in April 2026, while a signed Moonwalk Suite sold for £430,000 at Phillips New York in October 2024. The series’ peak hammer price stands at £462,832.

If you own Warhol’s Moonwalk, now may be the time to understand its value.

Queen Elizabeth II

Warhol’s Queen Elizabeth II forms part of his 1985 Reigning Queens portfolio, a series that transformed four ruling monarchs into late Pop icons. F. & S. II.337 is a particularly scarce signed edition, produced in an edition of just 40, which gives it a different supply dynamic from many of Warhol’s larger print editions.

The work has appeared at auction nine times since 2008, when it achieved £15,000 at Christie’s London. Its strongest recorded result came in January 2022, when it sold for £280,000 at Phillips London, with the buyer paying £352,800. More recently, the print achieved £130,000 at Phillips London in September 2024.

Over the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £130,000 to £280,000. While the market has become more selective since its 2021–22 peak, demand remains supported by the series’ cultural significance and scarcity.

“The Reigning Queens market has become more selective in recent years, but demand remains spread across the portfolio rather than concentrated solely on Queen Elizabeth II. The other monarchs offer a more accessible entry point into the series, while Royal Editions, trial proofs, and dedicated proofs provide additional layers of rarity for advanced collectors. Together, these different collecting tiers continue to support interest in one of Warhol’s most recognisable late portfolios.”
Sheena Carrington, Market Editor, MyArtBroker

David Hockney

David Hockney’s print market has become one of the most important areas of the blue chip editions market. Demand is broad, but current collector appetite is particularly concentrated around Arrival of Spring, Swimming Pools, rare iPad works, the Weather Series, and highly recognisable flower works.

The Arrival of Spring

Hockney’s The Arrival of Spring has become one of the most dynamic print series in the contemporary market. Created using an iPad and printed at monumental scale, the series captures the changing Yorkshire landscape through vivid digital compositions.

Recent auction performance has been exceptional. In October 2025, Sotheby’s held its first dedicated Arrival of Spring sale, achieving a white-glove result of more than £6 million across 17 works from a single collection. A second tranche followed in 2026, with 16 works selling for £3.5million at the hammer, 136% above the low estimate.

The series has also produced new benchmarks. Arrival of Spring, 6th May achieved £380,000 in 2026, setting a new record for the composition, while several resale works established new auction records. Since first appearing on the secondary market in 2017, average auction values have risen sharply, reaching £255,100 in 2025.

For sellers, Arrival of Spring is a clear example of where timing, composition and route to market can materially shape results. With strong liquidity, international demand and recent dedicated sales reinforcing collector appetite, high-quality examples remain a priority for Hockney buyers.

Slow Rise

Hockney’s Slow Rise is a signed 1993 lithograph from an edition of 68, forming part of his Some More New Prints series. With only 11 recorded auction sales since 2004, it is a relatively scarce work within Hockney’s print market.

Over the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £11,347 at Sotheby’s New York in April 2025 to £24,000 at Phillips London in September 2024. Longer-term performance shows clear growth, rising from £1,248 at Bonhams San Francisco in 2004 to recent five-figure results.

The Weather Series

Hockney’s The Weather Series is a six-part 1973 series comprising Sun, Rain, Mist, Lightning, Snow and Wind. Influenced by Japanese woodblock prints, the series marks a distinct moment in Hockney’s printmaking, translating natural phenomena into stylised, atmospheric compositions.

The market has strengthened notably in recent years. From 2020 to 2025, The Weather Series recorded a compound annual growth rate of 16%, with demand building across both individual works and complete sets. Only two complete sets have ever appeared at auction: one sold for £91,000 in 2012, before reappearing in 2023 and achieving £228,651.

Individual records have also been reset. Rain remains the highest-valued print in the series, achieving £107,273 in 2022 and £107,100 in 2023, while Snow reached a new high of £81,900 in 2025. Every individual print in the series has set a new auction record within the past four years.

Pretty Tulips

Hockney’s Pretty Tulips is a signed 1969 etching from an edition of 200, and a distinctive example within the artist’s flower works. The print has an active auction history, with 34 recorded sales since 2007.

Recent results show a wide pricing spread, making condition and presentation especially important. Over the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £3,524 at Antiques & Modern Auction Gallery in December 2025 to £44,000 at Bonhams New Bond Street in April 2025. Other strong recent results include £32,000 at Bonhams in December 2024 and £30,000 at Bonhams in June 2025.

Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s print market is structurally different from Warhol’s. Supply is far more constrained, signed lifetime prints are scarce, and posthumous editions occupy a distinct but active tier. Demand can be intense because collectors have relatively few opportunities to acquire editioned works by the artist.

Flexible

Basquiat’s Flexible is one of the artist’s most recognisable editioned images, translating the force of his figurative language into a print format. Though unsigned, the work has an active auction history, with 24 recorded sales since its first appearance in 2017.

Over the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £43,503 at Phillips Hong Kong in May 2023 to £176,013 at Sotheby’s Singapore in July 2023. In the last 12 months, three examples have sold, with an average return to seller of £75,662.

Recent results show continued international demand, with sales in New York, Japan and Hong Kong. For sellers, Flexible remains a strong example of Basquiat’s global appeal and the relative scarcity of his editioned market.

Find out what your Basquiat print could be worth today.

Head

Basquiat’s Head is a rare unsigned edition, produced in a limited edition of 85. The work has appeared at auction 24 times since 2007, but recent supply has been limited, with only one recorded sale since 2021.

Its most recent auction result came in November 2023, when it achieved £72,348 at Van Ham Fine Art Auctions, with the buyer paying £93,329. The strongest recorded result remains £80,000 at Phillips London in January 2018.

Keith Haring

Keith Haring’s market is driven by both liquidity and scarcity. Pop Shop works create a broad and active trading base, while rarer portfolios, earlier works, signed editions and complete sets sit in a more competitive tier.

Fertility Suite

Haring’s Fertility Suite remains one of his most active and recognisable print series, with 83 recorded auction appearances and a peak hammer price of £188,582. The series has shown steady market presence, with an average annual growth rate of 1.24%.

Recent results show demand across both individual prints and complete sets. A complete signed Fertility Suite achieved £150,000 at Christie’s London in September 2025, while individual works have sold between £22,000 and £50,000 in recent years.

For sellers, complete sets are especially compelling, offering collectors a cohesive and scarce acquisition within Haring’s print market.

Pop Shop

Haring’s Pop Shop series is one of the most versatile areas of his print market, with 440 recorded auction appearances and an average annual growth rate of 3.68%. The series spans signed and unsigned works, individual plates, quads, and complete sets, creating multiple entry points for collectors at different price levels.

Recent results show steady demand across the category. In April 2026, signed works from Pop Shop IV sold at Sotheby’s New York between £15,000 and £26,000, while Pop Shop III, Plate III achieved £30,000 at Sotheby’s London in March 2026. Complete sets continue to attract particularly strong interest. While individual prints appear regularly at auction, assembling a complete Pop Shop portfolio is significantly more challenging, making intact sets increasingly sought after by collectors. This dynamic was reflected in October 2025, when Pop Shop II achieved £70,000 at Christie’s New York.

Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein’s print market is defined by image strength, technical execution, and the individual importance of specific works. Unlike markets structured around highly repeatable portfolios, demand for Lichtenstein can concentrate around singular images, motifs, or major series.

Brushstrokes

Lichtenstein’s Brushstrokes is a signed edition of 300 and one of the artist’s most recognisable print motifs, turning the expressive gesture of painting into a crisp Pop image.

The work has sold 57 times at auction since 2004, with five sales in the last 12 months. Over the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £6,377 at Rago in June 2025 to £31,411 at Phillips New York in June 2023. More recently, it achieved £15,000 at Sotheby’s London in March 2026 and £22,519 at Sotheby’s New York in October 2025.

Banksy

Banksy remains one of the most active and closely watched print markets in the world. Demand is strongest for signed editions, rare colourways, hand-finished works, and prints with immediate image recognition. Pest Control authentication remains central to any sale.

Girl With Balloon, signed

Banksy’s signed Girl With Balloon is one of the most recognisable and closely watched prints in the contemporary editions market. Produced in a signed edition of 150, the work has become a benchmark for Banksy’s print market, combining image recognition, scarcity and strong auction history.

Since its first recorded auction sale in 2007, the signed edition has sold 27 times publicly. Over the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £112,700 at Tate Ward Auctions in March 2026 to £376,825 at Sotheby’s London in September 2021. The work also achieved £395,833 at Christie’s London in April 2021, with the buyer paying £475,000.

More recent results show a more selective but still active market. In 2024 and 2025, signed examples achieved £150,000 at Christie’s London on two separate occasions, followed by £135,000 at Forum Auctions in October 2025 and £112,700 at Tate Ward in March 2026.

For sellers, Girl With Balloon remains a priority Banksy consignment because of its status as a market-defining image. Signed examples are particularly scarce, and works with Pest Control certification, strong condition and clean provenance continue to attract serious collector attention.

Love Hurts

Banksy’s Love Hurts is one of the artist’s rarest editions of only 16, combining one of his most recognisable images with exceptionally limited market availability. Unlike many of Banksy’s best-known prints, the work has almost never appeared publicly. The only recorded auction appearance came at Bloomsbury Auctions in 2013, where it was offered with a £50,000–£70,000 estimate but failed to sell.

That result now reflects a very different phase of the Banksy market. Over the past decade, demand for rare editions and unique variants has increased significantly, while supply has remained extremely limited. As a result, Love Hurts is now considered a six-figure work, with private market valuations sitting substantially above its historic auction estimate.

For collectors, the appeal lies in the combination of image strength, rarity, and individuality.

Dumbo

Dumbo is among the rarest works in Banksy’s editioned market. Hand-finished and produced in a highly limited format, the work has never appeared at public auction, meaning there is no established auction benchmark for collectors or sellers to reference.

That absence of public sales has helped reinforce its desirability. In a market where many of Banksy’s best-known editions trade regularly, Dumbo remains largely hidden from public view. As a result, interest tends to come from collectors seeking works that combine rarity, strong provenance, and a degree of exclusivity that cannot easily be replicated elsewhere in the artist’s market.

Pulp Fiction, signed

Banksy’s signed Pulp Fiction is a rare edition of 150 and one of his most recognisable early prints, reworking the iconic film still with the artist’s characteristic wit and visual disruption.

The work has sold 20 times at auction since 2008. Over the past five years, hammer prices have ranged from £45,299 at Phillips New York in April 2025 to £100,000 at Tate Ward Auctions in March 2022. It also achieved £123,000 at Forum Auctions in March 2021, marking its strongest recorded hammer result.

Turf War, signed

Banksy’s signed Turf War is a rare 2003 screenprint, produced in an edition of 150. With only five recorded auction sales since 2008, it is a comparatively scarce work within Banksy’s signed print market.

Its most recent auction result came in May 2024, when it achieved £32,000 at Bonhams New Bond Street, with the buyer paying £40,960. Its strongest recorded result remains £84,000 at Forum Auctions in October 2020.
