Our opinions will clearly differ. I have two of these prints at my home waiting to be framed and it is a good print... In my opinion. It would appear I'm not alone in this thinking as the edition sold out.

However, it selling out would not be indicative of its quality. McDonalds sells a ton of hamburgers.

However, it selling out would not be indicative of its quality. McDonalds sells a ton of hamburgers. You are both right. We can politely disagree and yes just because something sells out it doesn't mean it's good. I do like the McDonald's analogy. However, I think as many others do that "Blinky" was a good print especially for the money, it's fun and very good quality. Some may like it some may not, but it didn't cost 6K gbp now did it. This brings me to the point of this post which touches on the scary point of purchasing expensive releases. Over the long run( and I'm talking 20 yrs) how does anyone know if a print will continue to increase in value or not. This seems like such a fast paced investment game that lasts sometimes only a couple of years. There are no guarantees, just as in life. Look at what Kostabi and Rizzi prints were going for 20 years ago and now, although the do hold value it's nothing like 20 years ago. With the vast amount of art being released so quickly. I think this game gets tougher and tougher. I myself am no longer a player in expensive releases.

I think this game gets tougher and tougher. I myself am no longer a player in expensive releases. This happens with all art. If you follow the auctions sometimes the Impressionists have fallen out of favor as a group, sometimes there are specific artists from certain time periods (not just the last 20-30 years) that have seen their star and desirability fade. Will Munch's "The Scream" maintain its $120 million auction price from 2012, go up or go down? Sotheby's posted a huge quarterly loss based on items going for less than their guarantees. I think this OG print could quickly be resold for an easy twice the price if not more (as long as there is a buyer there is a sale), but that if one held on to it the price might come down to 50% over original (still a profit, just less). That seems to be the case with their previous print, hovering at 50% over original, with fluctuations no doubt based on availability, demand and most importantly desire. The Yellow Spongebob by KAWS seems to be going for under $3,000 currently but got up to $5,000 and had an original price of $800.
I would imagine trying to game the art market much like trying to game the stock market, with the latter having no aesthetic value. So while $7,000 for a print may seem expensive, in the real world of art collecting it is not, and I'd think one should buy it more for its aesthetic value and how/what OG makes one feel.

Os Gemeos is definitely blue chip. However, there is always a disconnect between the prints and originals market. Until a few years ago, you could have easily picked up a Rothko print for under 5k usd. This was at a time when his originals were getting bid up for more than 50 million usd in auctions.
