Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Feb 2, 2023 23:56:19 GMT 1, Be interesting to see how many of these Heni sell? a tough year ahead for economies with people's home loan payments going up etc. on top of bills and crazy inflation on everything. Could get a lot of people gambling and using their credit card, hoping for profit and we'll be seeing them all on ebay?
I do like the first one and it would look amazing on the wall, but $3k is the amount I am trying to save for an original piece I am after, so I will pass on these.

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by Dino Link on Feb 3, 2023 0:09:02 GMT 1, Also I wonder how many say they will pass on this only to eventually buy it, maybe hoping to dissuade others from buying this so that there is a lower edition size.

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by Charlie Bronson on Feb 3, 2023 0:13:28 GMT 1, You guys remember when we discussed the Heni Virtues release ad naseum? We racked up dozens of pages of discussion on whether it was a good buy, would be worth more than the approximately $3k we paid etc. The usual pessimists said they were shit, and unfortunately that made me uncart an entire set and only buy one.
Granted the Virtues images are stunning and beautiful, but imho, these are a no brainer; they’re gigantic and it’s fucking Invader. It’s not easy to buy his prints; few and far between. I’m going for one, maybe two(the first two). If I don’t, I know I’ll be kicking myself when I see them going for 15-20k.
Disclaimer…I often don’t know wtf I’m talking about when it comes to this shit; so take it with a grain of salt.

Maybe people will learn their lesson a little and curb the indulgence. Old age stuff I know, but maybe buy because you want one.

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by singerstu on Feb 3, 2023 0:21:47 GMT 1, Without wishing to state the obvious this is NOT an open edition it’s a timed limited edition and each print will be numbered. I am not a huge fan of Invader but I am a sucker for a Marilyn print so that might be one for the wall.
I will be interested to hear the opinion of those members who are going to HENI to see them.

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by ronanmc on Feb 3, 2023 0:29:36 GMT 1, irl1 - Even for the UK, it's $600 extra for VAT. For Ireland, we have to pay $105 for shipping, plus we will get hit for VAT and handling. Probably, just in excess of $3,800.
What do you reckon? Worth it?

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by phb on Feb 3, 2023 0:34:30 GMT 1, As someone who has been after an Invader print for a while now, but never been lucky enough to get one, I'm pretty pleased that these are being released. I get that some people out there thought he was above this sort of release. It's sort of like when one of your favourite bands that nobody knows, suddenly releases a top 10 album and all of a sudden everyone is listening to them! I love the Marilyn (probably will be the most popular) and have bought it for my wall. It's probably larger than i would have liked, but hey, first world problems right? I would love to have Country Life too, as I think they would look the nuts hanging together, but 2 is just a bit too rich for me.

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by LJCal on Feb 3, 2023 1:15:52 GMT 1, A lot of crystal ball gazing, the fact is no one will be able to make a reliable prediction on values until the edition number is known. Virtues came in under expectation and look at those now, Empress the opposite. For me there are two there that I love and happy to keep hold of, I'm not a huge fan of giclees but these are 1m2, I've never liked the fact that most invader prints are small so these will fill a gap for me. If you're buying purely for speculation there's always risk but if you're happy to have these on the wall for a a few years they're no brainers. I highly doubt you'll be able to buy a signed invader primary of this size at sub £3k again, I can say that with some degree of confidence.

I saw the excellent Expo in Brussels, and there was so many superb images they could have used instead of that. I personally loved the Pele and Maradona images, and with both of them now passed, they would have been superb tributes.

Heni x Invader 'Rubikcubism', by surge on Feb 3, 2023 7:11:50 GMT 1, Invader is my favorite but agree that these selected images aren’t my favorite, wish the price was less like $1-1.5K, wasn’t photo printed on aluminum. Hard times with this economy but an Invader doesn’t come on the market often at this price. Going to have to sleep on this one and think it over before making the final decision.
Question, would you hang as is or anyone thinking to frame it?
