I have a Conor Harrington 'Modern Monarchy' that I want to trade for 'Fight Club'. I am willing to throw some $$$ in to sweeten the deal. My 'Modern Monarchy' was purchased from Laz about a month ago and is still in the tube I received it in. The tube is stamped "Outsiders".

If money and wall space are not an issue, keep your Modern Monarchy; don't trade it for Fight Club. I have MM and would eventually like to add a Fight Club too, but my MM is not going anywhere. MM is a lovely print and having bought it so recently, frame it, hang it and live with it for a while then you won't want rid ...

Either way - good luck with your quest.

[WOOF]

If you decide to sell, por favor let me know.

@mutalis: As little as I like to admit it, price is always an issue... I have a top end of $2500 for Fight Club at the moment and was hoping that someone would value Modern Monarchy for trade more than $$$. I know that there is a Fight Club @ www.MUCA.eu for 4500 euros, but I just cant justify that price. 

Wall space is more about tough decisions. I figure I can always rotate my art if need be.

P.S. What kind of frame do you have on Modern Monarchy? I am having a hard time deciding between an old-school guilt frame or a more modern and simple black frame.

..lucky enough to have the full Dead Meat set of prints and Fight Club, and Modern Monarchy is possibly my favourite

Hey - I know what you mean about price - it's just that the way things are going prices never seem to come down! 4500 euro? Ouch!

My MM is at framers - having seen some old ornate frames I was thinking of going down that route but framer has partially dissuaded me though - when he has prepared the mount I/we will get to choose. Will let you know soon. Good luck!

I got a quote from them JUST for the WWWK - 5K....

[mrchristopherrobinso]

WOOF: 20k, but you are sure 5 or 6 less... What?!

[mrchristopherrobinso]

Connecta1: How did you frame up your set of prints?

[mrchristopherrobinso]

mutatis: I would love to see how your MM looks when it comes back from the framers

[connecta1]

...all are double-mounted in chunky white box frames. 

I remember at the time these prints came out a few folk saying they would be better suited to more ornate frames but I much prefer this style:

It's hard to go wrong with a white frame, the pieces are so colourful that the white keeps it fresh, especially if you have a number of them as above (looking very nice btw)

At the same time I can see the appeal of a more ornate frame, and if I just had one of the prints by itself I'd think about going for this

I was making a joke because Harrington prices are going nuts right now.

[snik]

Just to add to this, if anyone does have a WWWK for sale, PM, cant find one at all that isnt overpriced to hell

[Shoeless]

Agree with connecta1 on the white framing for these....Im sure they'll look good in almost anything though.
Quick pic of my Tardis:



Best of luck to the OP and sink on the hunt!

[Quinnster]

These look great in the white frames. I bet they look amazing in the flesh.

[mrchristopherrobinso]

connecta1 = the white frame work great with your walls/window trim. I am jealous of your stairs, as they always offer a ton of high-traffic wall space to display your favorite pieces. Question: why haven't you hung your fight club yet?

[connecta1]

..it's on the wall Chris, just at the bottom where the light isn't so good and I couldn't get a decent snap. This one is when I'd just unwrapped it from the framers

Here it is - not hung yet - but I hope pic is good enough for you to get the idea. It's not too ornate and not strictly plain. If you want more detailed close-up pics of frame/mount etc, let me know.
