Prices in the market lottery drawing, or rather, in its top-сегменте, largely depend on the market prices of original works of an artist: his rising unique work — will grow in the price and prints. It is therefore quite natural that the majority of the prints more million dollars was sold in the period 2008-2013, when much higher prices for original works by such authors as Matisse, Rembrandt, Redon, Lautrec, Hokusai, Kirchner. However, the ten most expensive prints in 2013 as a result of the work amounted to only four authors — Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Edvard Munch and Odilon Redon.

the Main criterion for pricing — is, of course, rare prints or series of prints. So, one of the most rare and therefore expensive in the world graphic series — so-called series "Le Suite Vollard" ("Kit Vollard"). This hundred etchings Pablo Picasso in the neoclassical style, created in 1930-х years for the dealer Ambroise Vollard. Total number of such sets of one hundred etchings was about 310, but they began to split into parts and sell the etchings alone after the death of Vollard in 1939. As a result of complete sets remained a matter of units, they are proud of the British Museum, MOMA and the Picasso Museum in Paris. At auction in June 2013 "Kit Vollard" has reached a new record trims — 3.6 million dollars. Last time — in 2006 — is another "Le Suite Vollard" was sold for $ 1 million. And the most expensive single Picasso print in 2013 — his famous "Weeping woman" (1937), created a print run of 15 copies. One of them was sold in November 2013 for $ 2.2 million, but the other two years earlier in 2011-м brought $ 4.5 million.
Another traditionally expensive set of draw works — set of 10 color silkscreen Andy Warhol with a picture of Marilyn Monroe. Only Warhol in 1967 released 250 of these kits. The most expensive of them are now worth 2.05 million dollars — as much paid for colored Marilyn at auction in November 2013. Another deal, but with a different set of this edition in 2013 brought $ 1.7 million (Phillips, may 16, 2013).
the Event on the lottery drawing market in 2013 — sell portfolio of 10 lithographs Odilon Redon (illustrations for "the Temptation of St. Anthony" by Gustave Flaubert) for $ 1.2 million — 100 times more expensive than the estimate! Actually last year the market works Redon was very successful as 11 new records on his prints.
and, finally, the leader of the rating by the number of persons that it places — Norwegian Edvard Munch the titles of the author the world's most expensive works of art in the period from may 2012 to November 2013. At auction in November 2013 tempera Munch's the Scream for $ 120 million exceeded the triptych by Francis bacon for $ 142 million. As for the draw works, here equal to Munch in 2013: his aquatint "Girl on the beach" was sold for 1.85 million lb (2.79 million dollars) at auction in March 2013. In this series, a total of 11 operations, and they are slightly different from each other and the color and pattern. Hit a record, "Girl on the beach" actually was the only job in the series, caught at a public auction. In addition, the work comes from the collection of curt Glaser, Director of the lottery drawing in the Berlin state Museum in 1920-х years. Aquatint was confiscated by the Nazis, and even in our time, returned to the Glaser heirs.

From the editor: We gave a rating of artprice, but in fairness it should be noted that its authors had been silent some limited edition works by Andy Warhol, sold at auction in 2013. Transaction amount quite allow these things to take their respective places in the top ten.
"Zebra the Greve" (color silkscreen, copy 14/150) was sold for 4.6 million dollars (Heritage Auctions, Dallas, November 2, 2013); for 3.8 million dollars at the same auction went a series of 11 color silkscreen "Flash — November 22, 1963" (copy 96/200). At the same auction were two sales of printed works of Warhol in the range of 3.5–4.1 million dollars.
Probably artprice rating up to retrieve data from Heritage Auctions. If it took into account all these sales, the top-10 not have enough space nor the majority of works by Munch, nor a series of lithographs by Odilon Redon.
