Ed Ruscha - New Avant Arte print release - SPAM, by ignition0 on Mar 29, 2024 19:18:08 GMT 1, I think this print should be bought purely if you like the image and want to hang it on your wall. (Who knew people actually still do that?!) if you’re looking to make money you may be better nipping into your local William Hill.

It's the kind of thing you buy because you'll enjoy it. But there will always be someone who didn't buy one from the release that wants one. New people born every second. It's also not a $10 poster. There will also always be people who can't afford it now and might be able to in a few years. The funny part is that if it were a Banksy timed release for the same price, or more, nobody would question if it were worth it. So just weigh out how much you like it and if you would enjoy it on your wall or not.

does the text make it better? No. Then why is it there?

No. Then why is it there? The text is referenced as an artist’s stamp like any other print that is stamped rather than signed. In this case it also has LACMA and 2024 alongside the artist’s name because firstly the original is in that gallery and secondly the proceeds go to LACMA. May also be a licensing reason if LACMA own the original?!
It isn’t actually printed with the rest of the image which would make it feel more like a poster. How do you separate a poster from a print? Well that is subjective but the paper stock and printing method for me determines that. This is a print!

You’ll also be covering up the edition number. Float it like Avant Arte have done. It looks great.

It certainly doesn’t make it a ‘poster’. I agree that it doesn't make it a poster but it does make it *look* like a poster. That's what posters do; they print some lettering in the bottom right hand corner. Most art prints tend not to do that.

He has released tens of thousands of prints over 6 decades, better printed, limited editions. They may not scream Ruscha or be so obvious as SPAM but you'll get something more special with a bit Extra.

Once it’s in a frame it will look like a framed poster.Problem is, the frame will cost more than the value of the poster (print).

If it was £100 sure, for a limited edition poster that's fair but anymore than that is money down the drain. Above all, I think that we are interested - and that why we would pay this price - because of the great editor ( Christian Avant Arte ) It’s not a critic, I like a lot AA. But I reckon that’s like Heni, OTi, and some others, that Avant Arte is very hyped ( with reason) and gives confidence as they are offering prints with quality and have this classy intellectual side. Another editor ? Nobody would bought it at this price. We pay a bit the brand. Otherwise it should be around 250 I think ( depends of the. Quality also ) it’s just my thoughts :-)

But when it helps make a point 🤷🏻♂️ Just saying that unsigned doesn't imply zero value. People will spend hundreds of dollars on folded posters that were inserts in a newspaper but complain about another artist doing an unsigned edition at a price point that is arguably reasonable compared to their other releases. I'm not even trying to convince anyone, cause the less people that buy it means a smaller edition. To each their own. That being said, I do try to buy things that I believe will, at least, hold value as you never know if/when something might come up and could need that money.
