Ballet PostersFor a budding ballerina, there is nothing quite like the inspiration that can come from looking at a ballet poster. These works of art inspire, and for collectors, they are a way of enjoying and expressing a love for this amazing form of expression. If you love ballet, or if you are just looking for a graceful collectible, ballet posters are an excellent solution.

When you are shopping for a ballet poster, it is important to find out a few things first.

1. What performance is the poster from?

For example, a ballet poster that features a historic performance by Rudolph Nureyev or Margo Fontaine is going to be worth a lot more than a poster featuring dancers from Hoboken. Look for this information, which should be contained at the bottom of the poster. If you don’t see it, you may want to ask the seller for more information. However, most legitimate ballet posters will always contain not only the performance but the date that it was held. While a poster featuring dancers from Hoboken may be special to some, it is important to make sure that you know what you are getting before you buy it.

2. Who are the dancers featured?

Once again, we fall back into the fact that certain ballet posters that feature well known dancers are simply going to be more valuable. This is particularly true for those that follow a specific dancer’s career and collect memorabilia items celebrating certain accomplishments or performances. The poster should indicate the dancer that is pictured, but if it doesn’t, you may be able to tell simply by looking at it who is pictured.

3. Does the poster come with a frame?

This is more of a logical question, but the type of frame that contains the ballet poster can have a big impact on its overall value. For example, a gilt edged frame will be worth much more than one that was purchased at a local dollar store. Always try to find posters that are either already in valuable frames, or that will fit the frame you already own and would like to use.

4. What condition is the poster in?

Older posters will typically have a bit of wear and tear, but in many cases, you’ll be able to find a truly rare item that may have a rip or two. Always figure in the overall condition of a ballet poster, especially if you are buying from a private collector instead of a store. Look for small marks, folds or anything that may bring down the overall visual appeal of the poster, as well as the value.

A torn ballet poster may have sentimental value to some collectors, but it is always a good idea to try to get the best quality one that you can find. Posters do wear quite a bit, especially if they are not framed, so you can expect most vintage ballet posters to have a little bit of ear.
