It would be good as then only those who really want it would go for it I reckon. unless the pricing reflected the edition size this would not work IMO
I suppose to some extent. For instance I would quite happily pay ยฃ500 for it unless there were thousands then it is nothing more than a poster I guess.

Nick Walker โข The Empire's State, by robinbanks on Jan 7, 2009 0:03:31 GMT 1, Tis a quaint idea but I'm pretty sure the edition size will be almost entirely up to Mr Walker, and since he has already said that he likes to keep the edition sizes on the low side I can't see it happening.
Personally, I have no interest in the resale value of this print but I can't say I'd be happy about paying somewhere in the region of half a grand for an open edition (even if it was time limited).

Nick Walker โข The Empire's State, by Deleted on Jan 7, 2009 1:32:25 GMT 1, Is Nick walker's sister is selling her birthday gift from 12 years ago on the bay?
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200292908260&mfe=sidebar
she (or he) did have two other Nick Walker paintings of spray paint caps, but they pulled the plug a few days ago for some reason, but this one had already had a bid on it so that might be why it's still up.

The NW will be round that price; LTS was ยฃ750 & well worthy of the price imo. Compare the last NW which was ยฃ450 (i think) & this latest NW & I think you'll find a price of betwen ยฃ4-ยฃ550. I'll just pick one up on ebay - with cost of hotels, travel etc etc etc - its a no brainer for me.

I was thinking exactly the same.
This has the potential to make Nick Walker stand out from the crowd. Usually the Art Fair is very chilled, people pootering about, and to see people rushing to a stall will really be something else.

I was in NYC in Jan a couple of years ago and it was cold enough to freeze the nuts off a brass monkey - and I grew up in Newcastle!

Nick Walker โข The Empire's State, by grantb on Jan 7, 2009 13:52:14 GMT 1, Dear ***
As you know we will are exhibiting at next weeks London Art Fair where we will be releasing the Nick Walker Empire State edition from his Morning After series. Due to the demand for this print and the overwhelming number of enquiries we thought we should send out further information about how the release will work.
The preview evening is on Tuesday 13th January from 6pm onwards and tickets can be bought on the door. For those intending to arrive early and queue (whether you already have a ticket or are planning to purchase one on the night) we would like to make you aware that this is not just a Black Rat event and therefore we want to cause minimum inconvenience to the fair organizers and other exhibitors. For this reason a member of Black Rat staff will be outside the Business Design Centre during the afternoon to ensure that there is a fair system in place for those queuing and that any queue is in a place that will cause minimum disruption. We will be using some sort of ticket system to guarantee those in the queue have the opportunity to buy the print so there will be no need to rush to our stand when the doors open at 6pm. This should also make sure those already with a preview ticket will not be able to purchase a print ahead of someone who needs to buy one on the night. Tickets are ยฃ25 and all proceeds go to the Art Fund. Finally there is no point arriving at the design centre before the afternoon of the 13th as the gates will be closed before then and security will not allow people to wait outside. Plus its January and really really cold.
For overseas collectors who have entered into the lottery for the prints set aside from the edition for them we will email those who are successful on Tuesday 20th January. If you do not receive an email on that day then you should assume you have not been successful.
We apologise for the overload of information but it is easier to send out a newsletter with this information rather than reply to each individual email.
The fair continues until the 18th January.
Thanks for your patience.
BRP
Kind Regards The Black Rat Press

Totally agree as usual us Northern Monkeys have to suffer paying the over inflated prices on the bay. Its not as if its a 1 hour journey to get there.

Interesting social conundrum isn't it?
With rising unemployment those who have no job can afford the time to queue to buy. They can't afford to buy to keep however. So they buy to sell. Meanwhile those of us with jobs can't afford to spend the time to queue. We can afford to buy to keep however. Can we afford the inflated prices of those with no job? Not I. Meanwhile those with no job will sell the art. They now have no job but do have money. They no longer need to get a job.
Am I wrong in suggesting that BRP is causing the unemployment in this country?
(tongue in cheek to an extent)
