Orig. 1992 PRINCE signature on 
Herb Ritts' book page "Notorious" (COA included)

Prince had stopped signing autographs for his fans many years ago. It is assumed that his decision had to do with his becoming a Jehovah's Witness by the late 1990s.

The signature on sale here today, however, stems from 1992. Prince gave it to his dancers "žDiamond and Pearl' in Los Angeles after a video shoot. They later passed it on to their friend Mark Moralez, who in turn sold it to me through his company, The Hollywood Circuit in May 2004. Moralez included a signed certificate of authenticity; this document is going to be included with the sale of Prince's autograph now. 

Throughout his career, Prince has usually signed with just his first name, Prince, omitting his second name, Rogers, as well as his surname, Nelson. He went by his full name only when signing checks or official documents, contracts and the likes. Instead, he started to add the words, "žLove God' very early in the 1980s. From 1993 through 1999, a bunch of signatures with nothing but the "žsymbol' were given away. Ever since, it's back to "žPrince', although he clearly seems to avoid having to sign anything at all these days. 
Prince's reluctance to give autographs has led to 3- and 4-figure prices fetched in auctions whenever anything that's proven authentic goes on sale.

The signature here is a rare combination of both, his given name, "Prince", as well as the words "žLove God' AND the famous trademark symbol. 
A 5-pound, 168-page coffee table photo book "Notorious" by photographer Herb Ritts, who died in 2002, was published in 1992. Prince's signature comes on a strong and heavy page from this book. 

"¨Hight of this page: 38,2 cm = 15.3 inches
"¨Width of the page: 29,7 cm = 11.9 inches

(Collectors, please note that the size of this page is almost A3!)

The size of Prince's signature ALONE ("žLove God – Prince', written in black Edding) is: 

6.6 inches x 2.4 inches


Price: £6750 (Price subject to increase depending on market demand)

I guess the 3 pm regarding this piece in my inbox must all be hate mail?? Something tells me they aren't..

To answer some frequent questions I will listen to offer however it may go to closed bids as this is advertised elsewhere.
