Are you looking to purchase a lithograph — signed, certified, and ready to enrich your collection or to offer as a meaningful gift?

At Art Shortlist, we curate a carefully selected range of original lithographs by major 20th and 21st century artists, alongside works by talented contemporary creators.

Every print is individually verified, documented, and sold with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring a secure and confident acquisition for collectors.

Lithography: traditionally on stone but not only

Originally, lithographs were produced on soft limestone, often sourced from the Solnhofen quarries in Bavaria.

However, from the 20th century onward, many artists and print ateliers also began working with: zinc plates, aluminum plates and even polymer-based matrices.

What truly defines a lithograph is not the material, but the process: the artist draws directly on the surface using a greasy crayon or ink, and the image is printed manually, sheet by sheet.

Why choose an original lithograph?

Lithography is a traditional printing technique that allows the artist to create directly on stone or plate, giving each print a unique presence, texture and energy.

It is an ideal way to:

Start an art collection

Acquire works by renowned artists at accessible prices

Discover and support contemporary creators

Bring character and authenticity into your home with numbered works
