Understanding fine art requires one to utilize as many sources as possible. These Pablo Picasso ceramics, lithographs and etchings have several catalog sources to cite authenticity of these modern works. Rembrandt etchings are 400 year old works usually depicting historical or biblical events, and are often seen in a connoisseur's collection due to the complexity of their documentation. Every fine art collector should aspire to learn as much as possible about the artist and the piece before purchasing.
There are many free sources for all types of artists, from Old Masters like Bruegel to Contemporary Masters like Vasarely. Fine art catalogs are very expensive, but collectors can use the internet, galleries, auction houses, and especially knowledgeable private dealers to learn more about works they wish to acquire or sell. And that is why I am here: to help you learn more about the exciting world of fine art.
A Picasso signature alone is worth about $1,000 so finding a signed Picasso lithograph for that much is really difficult, if not impossible. Under $10,000 is feasible. Check out Artnet's listing of Picasso pieces, and the dealers and galleries who sell them: http://www.artnet.com/Artists/ArtistHomePage.aspx?artist_id=13485&page_tab=Deale... .
Get a feel for what's out there and the price ranges surrounding Picasso prints. You may need to find interest in a smaller artist or increase your price range. Let me know if I can help you any further.
