Ugh... no good indeed. Here's hoping they get their act together for the next time, but terrible that these are getting damaged in such an avoidable way.

I also had the same issue, one end cap missing a few small krinks at the edges from flopping about. UPS guy was like "The end cap is gone, but Look it's still in there." LOL

As it's not a gallery, I'd say not too bad considering we were buying art from a Hotel

I hate hearing about these damaged prints. My Eine "Amazement" print was damaged on delivery and its agonizing to have to either give up a print you really want or put it on the wall with damage. At the end of the day if you're into it for the image and not an investment, what else can you do but frame it up and enjoy?
Sorry to hear @fifthspray Happy Go Lucky Chap

Thank you YoYosh... Cheers!

But nothing makes my stomach sink more than an image that I really want that has a crease, wrinkle, etc. in it... I guess it is an OCD, I dunno, but I can't enjoy it, I will only see the damage.

If I pay hard earned money I expect to get a product in good condition. Its not an investment thing, it's an expectation I have of all stores / businesses I deal with... If I get a TV set with a dead pixel in it I will obsess over it and would return immediately. If you accept subpar products then companies will become more and more lax with how they treat the consumer.

I forgot to mention that they still have some Blek prints... But this threads reporting on the shipping has effectively killed my interest.

I think this thread has definitely been one of the better threads in the forum in a long time... Nothing negative, just info reporting and discussion...

Cheers to everyone!

Anybody heard of Catawiki? They are auctioning two of the lithographs from the Blek le Rat show at the Quin and they are up to €1750. Seems crazy.

some flipper made a killing then

Does anyone have any of the lithos available?

I missed the train on release and would have loved to pick one up.

Thanks!

Just walked over to The Quinn during lunch, since it's only a few blocks from my office and thought I'd share some pictures of the work on their walls.















I also picked up a few show cards.  If anyone wants one, just PM me.



I had a chance to spend quite a bit of time talking with Blek at the JLG show last year.  He could not be a nicer and more humble guy.  My GF and I had the pleasure of driving him and his wife to the hotel afterwards.

Anyone who has a print from the show they don't want for near cost PM me please.

[yoyosh]

I think these were the bargain of 2014 at around 350 usd (300 plus tax and shipping).
An edition of only 20 getting one near cost would be a miracle

cmodart sold one just the other day for pretty much cost. I was a tad too late. I wouldn't say that much of a miracle just yet.

4th canvas with red background is great

That awesome red canvas was at the 941 Geary show in SF last year or year before, it's huge. Took up its own wall at the gallery.

It's a fab piece!  Actually I liked pretty much everything I saw.  I was told that the canvases are in the $45K range and start from there.
