I've just had an email confirming my colour booking and saying that an invoice will follow...I do believe this is the first time I can't wait to be billed for something.

Me too, the happiness of being asked for money...just hope it's not one that was opened, thrown about, used in the loo and the sent off...lol...happy days. Post a pic if you ever get it.
have a nice day ?

If Ben is indeed keeping a number of each of these in a "secret vault" then its not surprising that they have been so hard to get hold of (Makes the price seem even better!!).

Im guessing the overseas sales will outweigh the number sold at the show as "urban art" is still very much in its infancy in the UAE although with the number of expats there I am sure the show will of been a successful one for them.

Is there any images of the other colour versions from the show anyone could kindly share?

Some earlier in this thread I believe.

Hang on Artfan... you posted them earlier in this thread. Confused.

Won't be long before a lot of art is released to the Arab world/China/Hong Kong SARS, ITS SMALL NOW, BUT GIVE IT 10 years when each Saudi Prince is paying £50000
For a silver flag, investment in high end art will be huge when there is no interest to be made elsewhere.....makes you wonder, hmmm and it makes you wonder.

I posted the colours which Elephants & Castles send out in the email, but the " Actual Orange" that was posted by another forum member that went, looked way better than the "stock" images originally sent out. I think had they send out images of the "actual" prints then many more would of gone for one.

I think Ben photoshopped and enhanced his just to make us feel we need a beer or two.....fair play though, I needed a beer!

Don't worry about the Saudi Prince I have a feeling he will find ways to make money. Don't think he is relying on low interest saving accounts.

More it's a statement, if you go to UAE. And the new offices, they are well decorated with high end art, it's a status symbol..oil is drying up, they know the future riches and as they all have Lambo's it's the next new head turner, well maybe not turner, but MODERN ART IN BLINDING ORANGE....

[Wilson]

Just had the invoice through. £390 inc shipping. Bank transfer or cheque for exact amount net.

sorry no pictures of all the colour variants, they were pretty much stacked up in a pile and only the orange framed and displayed in the exhibition. hope you don't mind me posting up a few images from the show though..

just want to echo the comments above, great show and the sheikh is very down to earth, top geezer!

got myself an orange version too, I wasn't too keen on them to begin with from the online pics, but when I got to the show and saw them in person, they did look pretty amazing, and it didn't matter what it said. I too asked Ben for a colour recommendation as it was really hard deciding over so many, and off course he said orange. I was told that E&C's have numbers 1-5 of each, I think Ben must have been kidding about them never being seen, but i may be wrong, they did say set of 9 available so maybe those would make up the set? I paid with my UK debit card, it worked out to be £362.27 to be precise, so £390 incl. postage doesn't seem too bad, but off course there may be additional tax when they arrive in the UK.
good to know there were other forum members there too. 

[Wilson]

Why do those f**kers feel the need to touch the prints.
Hopefully that's not you in the picture.

[Wilson]

That orange is very different from the others. The lettering is fuller.

Best image by far.

Shame I didn't get it.

Mind you the orange might be the print and the other canvases

[kapusta]

Looks like I'm confirmed on a teal!

Was bummed to have missed that orange, but if that's a teal in the image above, then I'm satisfied. Just wish they didn't let everyone flip through them. I like my art without fingerprints...

Also £25 bank transfer fee and possible fee for their bank charge.

You're right, the others are canvases, but (to me) the lettering on the orange does not seem as defined / solid  as the other colours, not sure how to explain it, orange is fuzzier / blurry ?? i think there is less contrast on the inside of the lettering

all the colours were on top of each other, sometimes mixed up, 1 person taking payment and customers helping themselves to choose which they wanted, so that was the only way to see what was available, not to mention if you're obsessed with getting a particular number

it isn't me but I wouldn't care if it was
and by the way, I did handle them too!

Know exactly what you mean. The colour is less graduated in the orange making it less defined.

I must admit I'm faltering on my purchase. I'm reticent about a bank transfer. If the print arrives fingerprinted and generally dog eared what is the come back?
I see they have a visa machine on the counter. I've emailed and asked if they will accept the old card.
The bank says £25 charge plus potentially a charge from their bank too.
Hmmmm.

i doubt it very much, the prints are on very thick paper with an added thick layer of gloss paint,and were not mishandled from what I could see, the ones taken out of the pile were bought so would not be in that pile anyway

[morgan]

nice, got confirmed on Teal

[Morfx]

Super Score!!!!!!!

 Always been a Eine fan..

Love Love Love...
