How long do these normally take to sell out. I'm in two minds but don't want to miss out...

Appreciate that this will get a lot of hate.
Partly because lot of people on here dont like Emin, and partly because its an image of the royal wedding.
Fair enough - each to their own.
But I actually like the image, and like Emins work (though I am certainly no royalist - far from it).
I said so at the time - that I hoped this would be released as a print.
Dont think it has any mileage for flippers because the ed size is huge.
Really appreciate WC releasing an affordable edition.
Good luck to them and Emin.

If its packed and delivered like other WC prints (big if, I know) then thats ok. My last WC print was delivered flat packed, bomb proof, by a courrier company (if I remember correctly - it was a while ago now).

144gbp all in; it's alway quite frustrating when you end up paying 50% of the cost of the print in extras! Such is life, it's still a very affordable print by a very unaffordable artist (if that makes sense!).  |

Such is life, it's still a very affordable print by a very unaffordable artist (if that makes sense!). Indeed, and to be fair, £20 of the £44 extra was vat, which cant be avoided. That said I do prefer it when galleries quote the price inc vat. Laz is usually plus vat - and it makes a big difference, esp since the hike. |

.. just picked this one up .. my first TE. A nice image 'to remember' the day and a reasonable cost. One for all of you Guardian readers out there ;D (Edit - Yes I know it was on the front of The Independent ) |

Missed out on Eine, Emin just doesn't fill the gap...£44 extras is a bit steep - even for an occasional Guardian reader...
Any advice for an Eine hangover?

Any advice for an Eine hangover? £80 shipping for outside Europe...they are having a laugh. For that they should be throwing in an Eine as well. ffs how are they justifying that? |

likely this is one you could make some money on once it sells out. If that is your goal. Not sure that I could stand to look at it on my wall so I'll pass. But great to see artist putting out affordable prints (even if it is ugly ) Really wish I liked the image. |

I'd be surprised if this release isn't mentioned in the Independent.

A great addition to the collection, which I'm trying to move away from just urban art. I'm not a big fan of her work but actually quite like this, it's instantly recognisable as something by Emin, it's inoffensive and it won't break the bank. Cheap to frame as well, and very little wall space required, which I'm lacking these days... |

Agree with Hlarmy. Absolute no brainer. Great image, great price. Especially with her current exhibition at the Hayward and profile during the Royal Wedding. I reckon this will sell out today.

not sure what this has to do with the Guardian (this image was on the front of the Independent), but its tiny! the paper is roughly 12 inches square
and as for the edition size of 1000 i have one word to say
"Micallef"
