Edward William Clay Stone Lithograph "Methodist Camp Meeting" "Andrew Jackson " Print Prices Increase For His Art

 Edward William Clay the early to mid 19th century artist and engravers prices have doubled in the last decade. He's known for Philadelphia satirical paintings drawings and prints detailing the poor blacks in the south and he's also known for his political commentary etchings and his Methodist Camp Meeting Rare Stone lithograph where none in the last 50 years have sold. His political commentary prints of Andrew Jackson are also in big demand though there only a few scarce ones left. Just in the last decade they've gone from $5,000 to nearly $14,000 for a single print. Heritage just recently sold one for $13,750.

Edward William Clay is also known for his drawings and etchings of silhouette figures in the Victorian era but they command $100 to $500 in price for them. What is amazing is the taking off in price of his political Prints. 

His recent sale at Heritage Auctions sure is a testament that his prices and his stature surely are growing. But the art of his that are growing in price are very short and supply as they rarely come up to auction so if you have anything by him scour your basements and attics and all you collectors go through your storage lockers because this is one to watch he surely set the explode higher in the future. 

His rare I should say extremely rare Methodist Camp Meeting Stone lithograph 1836 none have sold in seventy years so we cannot gauge the price on that but one came up at auction and I contacted the auction house and found out it did not meet the premium price set on it as I do not know what the premium price is but the owner of the auction house said it was 10K Plus and it was a small auction house in Chicago and I found that one on liveauctioneers. Without a doubt we can add Edward William Clay and his handful of rare etchings on Andrew Jackson and Methodist religion as one of the few artists whose works are suddenly skyrocketing.  15 years ago those specific prints probably could have been picked up for as little as $150 but incredibly today we are in the high $14,000 plus. For sure it will be interesting to see where these prices go in the next couple decades and see if this trend holds up as it looks like it will.
