After viewing some AMAZING/HUMBLING/MAKE ME WISH I NEVER PICKED UP A CAMERA prints from a handful of masters at the Andrew Smith Gallery in Santa Fe, I can say (I've since regained the ability to speak and be seen in public after the experience) that a number of these guys/gals signed the mattes. Perhaps the logic goes as follows: What's more important, the print or your name on it?
On an aside, as related to signing prints, has any celebrated photographer ever burned their signature into a print (ie, made a stencil for use with an enlarger)... i've seen plenty of digiprints with the like, always thought it was kinda cheesy...but on a silver print could be a little more organic (IMO)
