Public Market Center Appraisal

Pike Place Market Public Market Center Print

This item is a large-format, framed fine art print or lithograph depicting a vibrant nighttime scene of Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market. The artwork features an impressionistic style with bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich palette of blues, deep purples, and ambers. The composition centers on the glowing 'Public Market Center' neon sign, reflected on a wet cobblestone street alongside various flower stalls and figures under warm streetlights. The piece appears to be a mixed-media reproduction, possibly a giclee on paper with hand-applied texture, as visible glare on the surface suggests a gloss finish or varnish. The print is professionally mounted with a white and burgundy double mat and housed in a dark wood or laminate frame. In the lower margins, there are visible markings: a possible edition number on the left and a pencil signature on the right, suggesting it is a limited edition or artist-signed work. The condition shows minor scuffing on the frame and slight undulation of the paper under the glass, though the colors remain extremely vivid and saturated. Based on the subject and style, the work likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century.
