INSIDE THE 2026 PRINT MARKET

THE 10 MOST INVESTABLE PRINT COLLECTIONS

WHY DOWNLOAD THE REPORT?

Prints are not just entry points – they are pivotal centres of market activity. In the current landscape, a select group of print collections stand apart: not because they’re fashionable, but because they’re structurally sound. These are the series where volume and value are sustained, where collector participation is consistent, and where imagery retains cultural gravity across generations.

This report takes a different approach. Instead of ranking artists or analysing short-term performance, it focuses on collections as self-contained markets – evaluating liquidity, growth, stability, and visibility across each one. Whether you’re building a portfolio, benchmarking your own holdings, or looking to enter the market for the first time, this report offers a clear, data-backed view of where conviction lies.

INSIDE THE REPORT

Market-leading collections analysed as micro-markets

Understand why series such as Warhol’s Marilyns, Hockney’s Pools, Lichtenstein’s Nudes, and Banksy’s most iconic images behave more like standalone ecosystems – with internal price memory, edition hierarchies, and repeat buyer confidence.

How we define ‘investable’ in today’s print market

Get clarity on what makes a collection investable today, with seven measurable characteristics – from transaction volume and breadth to price trajectory and cultural visibility – used to assign each series a confidence score out of 60.

Confidence tiers explained, from Strategic to Exceptional

Each of the 10 collections is scored against nine market metrics and placed into one of four confidence tiers: Strategic, Selective, Strong, or Exceptional.

Data and scoring across a seven-year time horizon

All series are assessed using a multi-year dataset (2019-2025), with shorter time windows used to capture recency and momentum. This dual perspective allows for better judgment of whether a collection’s strength is structural or cyclical.

Cultural significance meets market mechanics

Explore how visual familiarity, institutional recognition and collector trust interact to create resilient markets. From Marilyn to Moving Focus, these are the images that have become embedded in our visual vernacular and continue to be transacted accordingly.
