That's for a print, right? You genuinely want to pay that for a print?

[sfinks]

Not just a print, a BIG print

[gorkie]

No. I WANT to pay $750.00.

Is that only OK if it's a Banksy then?!

[Prescription Art]

Banksy has built his career over the last 15 years. He's had museum shows dedicated to his work. He has forums built in his name, and every time he paints a wall it's considered worthy of a newspaper story. He's had a best selling book, and been nominated for an oscar. He's one of the world's most famous living artists.

Jeremy Geddes has done a couple of nice prints that get flipped on ebay.

So yes, I think spending $5k on a print by someone that personally i've only ever seen 5 or 6 paintings by on the internet is a bit mad.

He's obviously a very talented artist, and i'm looking forward to seeing his work develop in the future. I think the prices for his prints are insane though. Still... hope i'm proved wrong and the $5k turns out to be a great investment.

You can buy a lot of very good art by very good artists for 5k usd....

Have to agree with james, i think prices for geddes work is insane and i cant understand it personally.

Saying that, each to their own, so good luck with getting hold....

Oh ok I see....Prints are only worth $5k when you've had museum shows etc etc!

Prints are only worth what buyers are willing to pay for them and what sellers are prepared to let them go for.

Whilst I understand your opinion and viewpoint, I'm not going to question someone offering an amount of money for a print from any artist when I don't their motives, their values or their bank balance for that matter!

[sfinks]

If the original poster really wants one of these rare big prints from Geddes at this point, I dont see any other way then putting an offer like this on the table.
Not many will sell this, and there is only 30 of them.
Might not be worth $5, it might be, i dont know, but i think you need an offer like that to obtain this print.

The point is, is this a true reflection of the value of an over sized print by Geddes? Or in fact, are we currently sat in the midst of a little bubble which will dissipate as the next little number comes along to grab everyone's attention?

True reflection of your value or the potential buyers?! Beauty (and value) is in the eye of the beholder!

This isn't a debate about the market or a consensus opinion on the value of the print.

The OG poster has clearly made his valuation....Whether anyone agrees with it or not, whether he could get it cheaper or not, is irrelevant except to him and anyone that owns one.

Therefore the point is we neither know the OG posters motivation, inclination or anything else about them. They are perfectly entitled to offer what they like!

I dont think that is relevant in this case. The poster offered this amount cause that was what he was willing to pay.
I have not seen these sell on the open market, nor have i seen any indications on price. So im my book these dont have a 2ndary market price.

This will by no mean set the market price for Geddes's big prints, but i dont think they will get a price like others, as we will not see them for sale i believe.

If anyone has any info on what these has sold for in 2012, please share.

Don't think anyone has said otherwise!

What's been questioned is the relevance of some of the replies within the context of the posters thread.

....And on that note, I'm not going to derail this any longer either.

Gorkie, good luck in your search for the print you're looking for and at the price at which you are perfectly entitled to value it at.

[robottails]

I think $5k is about right for one of these.

If you think that's too high you should see what one guy paid for a Large Geddes - Heat Death...IIRC he paid a price that singlehandedly ensured that I wouldn't be getting one anytime soon.

This is about as high as I can see Large Cosmo going for and it is a completely reasonable offer.

Best of luck to the buyer.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D made me smile that line.

Good luck with it regardless of the price think everyone should agree they are pretty stunning pieces.

I cannot as per a couple of the comments see him dropping in and out of fashion much. Think his work is very fine so will have a strong base for the future as it crosses over the boundaries and will appeal to a very broad range of people.

!

Hence my quote of what a forum is

I'm not being negative about Geddes or anti someone willing to offer 5k for a piece - simply trying to debate regarding how it got to this and if it's sustainable...

[gorkie]

Well, my hefty offer doesn't seem to be attracting a seller unfortunately.

If anybody has any leads for me I'd love to hear from you. Thank you.

That isn't necessarily the acid test though - in that your offer hasn't had the full exposure to the market possibly?

I can't see that there's a 'bubble' here per se - that tends to exist where hype exceeds talent. It will be interesting to see where we are post Jonathan Levine.
