Always loved that Sage painting. Glad he turned it into a print.

Not sure that can be right - you can already by the unpasted one on Laz and all over the place - It makes sense that 20 were signed and the the others.... Well we will find out - my guess pasted. Or something otherwise they are just the mormal version (maybe signed I guess) I wait... Maybe only 20 of the 100 books were pasted ? |

The regular version has an edition of 4500 usually the signed versions of a book are 100 at LAZ. Edition of 20 should mean 20. Never the less until I hear differently from LAZ I assume it is an Edition of 20. |

It is a special edition of 100 pasted ones with 20 of this special edition being the super special signed ones and the remaining 80 special pasted but unsigned....
This is straight from L
Still after a signed one if anyone is having second thoughts

Then they should call it an edition of 100 with 20 signed. If you do the work of pasting 100 why not sign them all? The old dilemma of how to count edition sizes.

The way it read on the site was that it was an edition of 20.There was no mention of 100.

Quoted from Laz email :
Next up, the very special edition of JR's 'Women Are Heroes' book is finally with us. Sounding more like a piece of art than a book (although the contents are indeed remarkable) each signed, stamped and numbered copy boasts a hand pasted and unique cover, and what's more this signed edition is strictly limited to only 20 copies.

The Sage Vaughn prints are sale of the century imo, £100? Bargain. The Sage Vaughn prints are pretty awful imo |

Better or worse than a stencil of a couple of kids hauling a tesco carrier bag up a pole? If these appeared at POW, at twice the price, would they would sell out in an instant? |

Better or worse than a stencil of a couple of kids hauling a tesco carrier bag up a pole? If these appeared at POW, at twice the price, would they would sell out in an instant? It's just a dull image with no wit, no charm, no edge, no oomph. I think Sage Vaughn is very over-rated. You hit the nail in the head when you ask if this print appeared at POW would it sell out at double the price because you imply that the vendor has more sway than the actual art, which in some cases is very true. It still wouldn't make this print any more exciting, clever, interesting or worth putting on my wall. To call it the sale of the century is, frankly, nonsense. Compared to some of the prices for some of the prints out there it's certainly cheap - and I can see why. Is it better or worse than a stencil of a couple of kids hauling a Tesco carrier bag up a pole? I think we all know the answer to that one |

TS - thanks for your response, interesting how opinions differ as I liked the original and my view is that there's some imbedded talent, so from my perspective it was well worth £100. 'Sale of the century'? I'll give you that, youthfull exuberence on my part but I'm financially removed from a SV OG.
For what it's worth - I thought (my opinion) that VLH was a load of unimaginative tosh, don't see the cache that attracts people to Nola and that Mr B's best images for a long time were trollies and morons which seem to be regarded as weaker?
As for the price, not sure where cheap and affordable cross but consider it a good offering.

But my 3rd B print is VLH which I think is better than both. Getting it framed this week. This SV does nothing for me at all. It's another one of those weird superhero images that seem to be so prevalent...just not my cuppa. |

I think you missed the genuine sale of the century when you passed up the opportunity to buy a Banksy Kate at cost price.... |

I wasn't alone in missing that one but at that time £250 was perceived to be a lot of money to pay.
I hope this board keeps going for another 5 years so we can look back and kick ourselves (or not) and pass judgement on today's decisions. I don't regret not buying the Banksy Kate at release, I've made decisions that have proved to be far more expensive than that. Marriage springs to mind....

You are entitled to your opinion toshspice, but I totally disagree. I am also a big fan of Sage Vaughn's work and think he is very under rated.
No wit , no charm ? Are we looking at the same piece ? Its part of the Wildlives series which is all about misfit children in society not just some super hero parody. Its all a matter of opinion obviously but yours was very dismissive of a very talented painter.
