Black and white print signed 'Kate Oth'

This is a framed black and white print featuring a diptych-style composition executed in a linocut or woodcut illustrative style. The physical piece is housed behind glass in a simple black frame with a white window mat. The left panel depicts a portrait of a man, identified below the image within an oval border by the text reading 'Santorum', along with additional handwritten text at the bottom left reading '12/100 Queering Wads'. The right panel contains text enclosed within an oval shape that reads verbatim: 'The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter sometimes the by-product of anal sex: Santorum'. Below the right panel, a signature is legibly handwritten in pencil, reading 'Kate Oth'. The print utilizes high-contrast black ink on off-white or cream-colored paper, showing characteristics consistent with a limited edition relief print. The overall condition appears clean with no visible tears or fading, though the glass surface reflects overhead lighting. The attribution rests entirely on the visibly legible handwritten signatures and edition markings located in the lower margins of the paper. This item is unauthenticated.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this framed black and white relief print bears a pencil signature reading 'Kate Oth' and the edition marking '12/100 Queering Wads', alongside politically charged text referencing a well-known neologism. The piece is housed behind glass in a simple black frame with a white window mat. I cannot verify from a photo alone whether the signature is contemporary to the work, whether the print is an autographic impression by the named hand, or whether it is a modern reproduction or copy. Physical inspection under magnification would be necessary to assess the ink application, paper stock, and printing method. My value estimate of $150–$300 assumes that the attribution to the stated maker is correct and that it is an editioned print of this type. General market demand for contemporary political and socially themed printmaking of this scale is niche, typically driven by collectors interested in queer art or political satire. If physical examination reveals the piece to be a reproduction, replica, copy, or produced 'in the style of' rather than an autographic work by the assumed creator, the value would decrease significantly to the $25–$50 range, reflecting strictly decorative value. To better support market value and explore authentication, this piece would require in-person examination by a qualified prints and multiples specialist, alongside research into the working history of the purported artist and any associated exhibition or publication records.
