Winter Shapes Limited Edition Print

Title: Winter Shapes
Artist: Benita Giller
Category: Fine Art

Edition Number: 3/25 (Limited Edition Print)
Size: 32" x 35" (Framed)

Description & Analysis

This artwork, Winter Shapes, is a limited-edition print (3/25) by Benita Giller, dated 1971. The piece depicts intricate, fine-lined trees, likely created using an etching or pen-and-ink technique. The detailed, expressive strokes give a delicate, wintery atmosphere, emphasizing the organic movement of trees against a bare seasonal landscape.

Benita Giller is recognized as a Texas-based artist, though public auction records and gallery representations of her work appear to be limited. This suggests that her works may not be widely circulated in commercial markets, increasing the potential rarity of this piece.

Historical Context & Market Value

Given the limited edition size (only 25 prints), the artist’s regional significance, and the dated signature (1971), this piece may appeal to collectors of regional Texas art or 20th-century American printmakers.

  • Similar regional artist limited-edition prints (1970s): $200 – $600
  • If Giller gains further recognition through exhibitions or gallery sales: $600 – $1,500

The value can fluctuate based on:

  1. Auction or gallery representation – If Giller’s works have been featured in recognized sales, this could boost demand.
  2. Condition and framing – Your piece appears professionally framed and in excellent condition, adding to its value.
  3. Provenance or exhibition history – Any record of this print in public or private collections could enhance desirability.

Recommendations

  • Verify auction records: Searching for Benita Giller in regional Texas fine art auctions (Heritage Auctions, LiveAuctioneers, or Invaluable) could provide insight into past sales.
  • Consult a Texas art specialist: A local gallery or museum specializing in Texas artists may provide more details on her body of work.
  • Preserve the condition: Keeping the print in its current archival frame with UV-protected glass will maintain its value over time.
