Like mountain climbing, spelunking is carried on in groups, with the einphasis on teamwork and safety A spelunker, if he is a scientist in search of accurate information, must have special skill and endurance as he must get himself in and out of narrow crevices, carrying with him a good deal of scientific equipment

One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist In effect, a market
must be created for an artist to become successful The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth-century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called “Arrangement in Grey and Black,” but known to most of us as “Whistler’s Mother.” Whistler’s brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well-known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies produced By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print
As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure
Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice Indeed, prints have been signed within the image, in any of the
margins, or even on the reverse side of the print Whenever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still
valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition

signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value.”?
A The signing and numbering of prints was not very popular
B Many copies of the prints were made
C The signatures became more valuable than the prints
D The prints that were signed and numbered were worth more
Câu 29: The author mentions all of the following as reasons why a collector prefers a signed print EXCEPT
A it limits the number of copies of the print B it guarantees the print’s authenticity
C it makes the print more personal D it encourages higher prices for the print
Câu 30: It can be inferred from the passage that artists number their prints
