Article #4: Rembrandt Millennium Impressions
Survey of the Market and Values of Rembrandt Etchings With Emphasis on the Millennium Impressions
In 1998, the publication of a new, modern edition of eight Rembrandt etchings was begun under the banner of the Millennium Impressions which continued successfully until August 2003. Confusion was later entered into the market through Park West Gallery's secret purchase and ownership of the eight copper plates in August 2003, Park West's misattribution of the publication of the etchings, their ceasing to number the prints in a supposed limited edition, and their manipulation of prices.
