Swoon - Snow Blossoms Print, by natstan on Feb 24, 2017 15:00:12 GMT 1, That's a lot of layers, but looks like the background to a print, missing the portrait!
Have the same feeling. The colors and patterns are pleasing to look at, but I thought I was looking at a WIP photo. Does look a bit wallpaper-like.

Swoon - Snow Blossoms Print, by Hairbland on Feb 24, 2017 15:34:26 GMT 1, Apples and oranges to compare the "value" of this print to other releases of hers. Interesting. Care to elaborate? If you gave this some thought instead of quickly responding you could figure this out on your own.
But I'll help - compared to virtually all of Swoon's previous signed/numbered this is a lesser work (although as I said earlier quite lovely). A lesser work selling for less is not necessary a bargain compared to more expensive work.

Is it a bit arrogant to believe that your truth is everyone's as well?

Swoon - Snow Blossoms Print, by elephant on Feb 24, 2017 15:44:33 GMT 1, Lesser? I'm in the "sometimes less is more camp" so perhaps I can agree with you on that description, but I truly don't follow your jump to the conclusion about this print's value. Time will tell, of course.

Here's what the mural looked like. Personally, I prefer it without the portraits, but then again, I generally don't care for her drawing style when it comes to portraiture.
The artwork represents what I imagine was an intensely personal and powerful experience. Who can say that that representation is lesser?

Swoon - Snow Blossoms Print, by zachariah on Feb 24, 2017 18:00:50 GMT 1, I believe the link to purchase is: www.lscgallery.com/shop/ If you go there before it goes on sale to the public, it asks for a password which I think may be for presales.

Not meaning to be arrogant, just trying to encourage critical thinking in a provocative way. Andy Warhol, dead 30 years ago this week, would no doubt approve. In my opinion, touting this release as a great deal because of its price compared to her other more expensive work is an odd argument, hence my apples and oranges comment. Much like I think this release compared to her unsigned tiles and Braddock prints is a better value.
I like to view art, talk about it, and buy it. The original thought posted by someone was as to its value, I thought an unfair comparison and was challenged, to which I challenged back. I would do the same with the same language over a pint.

Again, I mentioned that, for me, her story behind this image relating to her mother the most interesting part. The release, for me, has pros and cons. Great story, great printing, wallpapery image. I am only comparing the "value" compared to her other pieces. If this was a signed numbered Nรฉe Nee for this price now that would be a great value.

To each his/her own. The great Don Knotts died 11 years ago today, and there's no doubt he would agree that Snow Blossoms is the better value over Nee Nee if both were sold at $175 + $60 shipping.

I appreciate the thought. I am admittedly a noob and trying to understand how people think of value in art. For me it's around the message behind the work, how much I appreciate it visually (and the size of the work), and finally, the artist momentum or gravitas. That being said some pieces I believe should be highly valued are not and vice versa. If I really want something I'll buy it, but I dont always understand the price so I sincerely appreciate your perspective and will mark it down as a good lesson. Thank you.

Swoon - Snow Blossoms Print, by trees on Feb 26, 2017 8:25:36 GMT 1, Not sure where I got the number 5 from. I guess because there were 5 images in the store. I didn't get the email you guys are referring too. All the examples on the store are so different. So it'll be interesting to see what everyone ends up with.
Seems sketchy to keep increasing the Hf edition size. But I guess that's just the art world. At least I feel good supporting an artist doing cool stuff like the heliotrope foundation.

Swoon - Snow Blossoms Print, by tech on Mar 4, 2017 17:54:38 GMT 1, If anyone is interested in a HF print. I have one available at cost + shipping. I received it yesterday, but didn't really feel anything in looking at it. I packed it back up, and will probably look at it this weekend to see if my feelings change. But if anyone who isn't a cheat or jerk, is interested and based in the US, let me know.
Did you receive tracking or did it just show up?

I received an email from lsc a week or so ago with an update,something like...
swoon expects to return to NY from Haiti next week, so the he versions should go out by the end of the month. Sorry for the wait it will be worth it.
So I guess she's probably hand finishing them now

Just got an email about it saying the print is stuck in customs over in London and I have to pay an import fee. Now I know how all you feel overseas ordering prints from the states.
