Want to buy: Tracey Emin - I Promise To Love You, by pressman on Jun 3, 2016 18:57:37 GMT 1, If you can help or know anyone that can, I'm desperately looking for one of these. If it's been stored tightly in a tube I'm prepared to spend £600.

Want to buy: Tracey Emin - I Promise To Love You, by damo on Jun 3, 2016 19:57:00 GMT 1, As a relative newcomer I find the pricing of these posters fascinating, they are in essence just posters so the premium is for an autograph, which is actually fair enough. In Feb they were widely available at £150/200 but a single Paddle8 auction in March saw one go for a really high price (I think it was near £1k or something equally insane) so the price, on all others, was accordingly adjusted.
Im not buying a conspiracy theory on the auction but it goes to show how much a single (high profile) sale can impact (and I deliberately use that word over 'manipulate') the price for the whole market. Now in the recent sales listed here the seller has taken a fair amount of stick from people who are understandably questioning the value of 'a poster', but in fairness he surely has the right to request any price the market is willing to entertain. If they don't entertain it, he doesnt sell, if they do then the overall market price increases.
Ive seen similar discussion on here (Stik, etc) but I don't think I've seen a scenario where the cycle has been so... well ... obvious. Basically I could buy a dozen Emin posters at the car boot. Wait for the sold out signs and then just go to an auction and bid the shit out of one to set a new market high. I know this is how the market has always been but it's really interesting as an outsider seeing it for the first time. I'm not making any judgement on it, or the seller on this occasion, but I've just found it really interesting this year.
Disclosure: I only know the Feb prices because I was going to buy it for the wife for Valentines, and baulked at £175+. To me that still feels like a fair, and reasonable, price but each to their own.

You can't put rationale to print pricings
Eelus releases a reworked edition , mechanically produced by an out of house printer for £1900 then releases more for pp for £3000 then releases original stencils for £100?
Stik release a print for £500 and now supposedly sells for £5000+
If these artist sells work for this much I can't see why not emins work doesn't sell for more , she has more history and background and the posters / prints look great framed
