SLINKACHU - new print out now!, by Studiocromie on Oct 21, 2009 23:12:04 GMT 1, hello everybody!
just wanted to let you know we're releasing a print by SLINKACHU on studiocromie website tomorrow!
THE HIGH LIFE
IT'S THE FIRST TIME I USE SO MANY CAPITAL LETTERS, BUT I SWEAR I'M NOT TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU.
Continuous tone Lambda C-type print on Kodak Metallic paper Image size: 40x26.5cm Paper size: 47.5x34cm Edition of 20, signed, titled and numbered
the paper is really nice and the printing is so detailed that makes me hate screenprinting.
the price for these is 480 euros thanks a lot!

The image would make a very nice looking birthday card...But each to their own.

Good luck people... surprised that it hasnt sold out yet.. I'm sure that it will though
Good price i guess to put off the flippers?

SLINKACHU - new print out now!, by Studiocromie on Oct 22, 2009 13:29:15 GMT 1, hello again, i have to say that i dont agree with what you say iloveartonwalls. the success of an artist is not quantified by how fast he sells out his prints. and honestly with this buy/sell flipping thing, i can see why the prices get higher from the source. it's just really annoying to see em on ebay straight away, it's not good for the artist, for the galleries and for the buyers too.
so, the deal is, instead of giving 400 to the secondary market, give it straight to the artist and galleries so that they can pick edition sizes lower and you get a print if you really like it. so you dont have to find yourself selling it again after some months 'cause you bought it just because if was costing 150.
mhhh hope it makes sense

SLINKACHU - new print out now!, by grantb on Oct 22, 2009 13:33:47 GMT 1, i take back what i said, i would say slink is very successful. i didnt mean it like that but maybe it was perceived that way.
i just wished that was more affordable to me at this current time

SLINKACHU - new print out now!, by hlarmy on Oct 22, 2009 13:42:42 GMT 1, I find this quite an interesting debate. I agree that it is best to avoid flipping and by having high prices, this will be avoided. But surely supply and demand has to come into play here - I think an element of Banksy's success is due to the fact that his prints are very affordable (some might say flippable) - it creates the market and has helped push demand for the prints sky high.
Look at Josh Keyes; arguably more successful than Slinkachu but still releasing prints at less than ยฃ200 for a low edition - it may lead to a few on eBay but does it not help build the artists profile and demand for their work...

SLINKACHU - new print out now!, by Studiocromie on Oct 22, 2009 13:56:02 GMT 1, i see dude. i can make other examples too. newer erica il cane handpainted, limited to 10 copies each were 240 euros.
the thing is we're talking of photos here, wich as far as i understood have a different market. plus, slin has reached a very good position with his art and flippers are behind the corner ! thanks iloveartonwalls, did not mean to bore you but you know, it was sounding a bit weird. i know it was not what you meant saying that
we're all cool and happy

SLINKACHU - new print out now!, by Guest on Oct 22, 2009 14:03:32 GMT 1, well said, nice post hlarmy. It really is a tricky one, do you release the prints cheap and have them sold on the bay for a profit by flippers, or charge market value and hopefully sell them to fans or collectors. i think it really comes down to what the artist feels comfortable with, if you have say 50 collectors buying your work regularly then that is enough to sustain a good profit margin for the artist to live and create more work, or sell cheap and have 500 people buy to sell, who are really not interested in the work only the profit to be made from it, which is really of no benefit to the artist, as we have seen plenty of times with prints being sold at huge mark up on the secondary the moment the work starts to sell cheaper everyone dumps there prints and the market collapses, and the artist is left with no true fan base. I would go with selling the work to collectors in small editions.

As you say, this must be a very tricky decision for the Artists and Galleries to make, and I guess nothing is necessarily the right or wrong way to go.
Interesting discussion
