Ian Francis, by Richard on Jun 10, 2008 12:29:36 GMT 1, So, why have Ian Francis prices gone back to cost on eBay?
I think his work is out of this world and IMHO would much rather have his work on the wall than someone like D*Face.
Seems like the perfect time to pick up a bargain!
Any thoughts?

Ian Francis, by weeble on Jun 10, 2008 12:40:51 GMT 1, Ah man i don't know. all i can think of is that there were a few too many prints produced. should have kept people wanting more instead of flooding the market. the first batch, with devouring bunny etc, went like gold dust! they are beautiful prints. Would love to bag an 'Alice' at ยฃ350 all in but as it's still for sale at Blk/Mrkt I dont think it will drop much. New show in September though, perhaps this will rejuvenate interest, if handled well.

From the photo's of the Outsiders show - his huge piece was one of the highlights. Great talent.

Ian Francis, by bobbymeachamjr on Jun 10, 2008 14:13:04 GMT 1, Originals have tripled in price from blk mrkt > laz show. Interest for his prints and his "hype" have dropped off considerably because Blk mrkt put out 12 prints from his 1 show. Releasing 3 sets of 4 prints has turned people off. They cashed in but overall terrible move as we know prints are where the money is made...

Ian Francis, by Gentle Mental on Jun 10, 2008 17:24:04 GMT 1, I'm just happy to own a few of these, especially the 1/25
Originals I'm sure, for the next round, will be ยฃ7k up. ie. beyond my means.
His print prices have fallen, because BLK MRKT recent releases pissed a lot of flippers off, got them all angry and scared enough to offload their stash at costs or less.
It's bloodletting, it's necessary and it's good for the system.

Depends a whole lot on how Dreweatts have marketed this... (and this is meant in the best possible way) if it is full of forumites then it's not going to be deemed a success for Dreweatts... they need it full of the big city boys a la the Bonhams auction

Ian Francis, by Gallery My Arse on Jun 10, 2008 18:54:18 GMT 1, He's a genius. Great time to buy now as prices are affordable and will rise steeply once the next show comes up and LAZ gets his hands on him for proper.
