The gallery folks I work with are in 100% agreement with you. It detracts from the collectible value of the piece. > When I showed, I signed the back of the photo and the mat, > usually. the > mat in pencil very lightly with the date. > used sharpie or china marker on back of photo but not in the area > where > the image was... Every gallery owner and art buyer I've worked with around here requests pieces be hand-signed, hand-titled, on the front face, with the signature and title outside the area of the image itself for photographic works. They want it arranged so that the piece can be matted and framed to display the photograph as well as the signature and title, or not depending upon the particular exhibition needs. A buyer can cover the signature and title with a matte afterwards as well, if they so choose.
