AC Gallery in Victoria Court, Skipton, is holding an exhibition of rare signed prints by the father of Northern Art, LS Lowry

Increasingly collectable, such prints have become scarcer and scarcer in recent years, with many people buying the artwork as investments.

The gallery will have more than a dozen signed limited edition prints on sale as well as unsigned prints.

Gallery owner Mike Baggs said: "We began dealing in the Lowry signed prints almost two years ago and the demand and interest has been incredible. I have seen prices increase by over 30 per cent in just two years but we remain very price conscious and regularly beat the prices of the high-end London galleries.

"Lowry has an amazing following so we hope the show will prove popular.”

It will run until next Saturday, April 25.
