What is cost for the poster out of interest?

£25 for the poster and bag individually or £45 for both at source.

[artois]

Does anyone have a photo of the poster, thank you .

Interesting that despite what looks to be record crowds for a Carl Freedman Gallery exhibition and their inclusion, the Counter prints don’t appear to have sold more.

Thanks for the photos. The show looks great. Emin is hopefully getting where she deserves to be

Nice to have a poster that’s not completely dominated by text. The RA ones are the worst

I think the prints started at £6000, if you used the discount code.

I don't think many of the casual visitors to the exhibition are going to drop £10k on a print.
Also, there's a lot of prints in the set, and a lot of other Emin prints on the market, so at that price unlikely to sell out too quick.

Guess I've seen this way too late?🙄

[samboy]

Prints have all jumped to 12k with some at 14k and presumably the discount is no longer valid so they must be selling at that price? I think I'll head to margate and try and get a poster soon. Anyone got advice on availability?

[Hubble Bubble]

Just heard the prints are shipping . Excited to see mine in the paperflesh kind of thing.

The quality is great but they can only print 70 a day or something so it’s very hit and miss as to whether they have any. One per person £25 each. The code no longer works but I wonder why they stopped it and raised all the prices?

[samboy]

Could it be tied to the dollar and the fact the pound keeps dropping? Who knows.

[Dahmer]

Can’t remember if I said it before but those etchings IMMA had a couple of years ago were an absolute bargain when compared to these prints, lucky to grab one

Yeah - I picked one up too. Never got round to framing, must look it out. What do they go for these days? Recollect they were about 350 euro but could be wrong. I joined IMMA at the time too (i live within driving distance so have used the membership a few times) so think there was a bit of discount. Whilst the image is pretty basic, it is at least wall friendly - and I guess there’s little chance of getting something comparable for anywhere near the original outlay?

[Dahmer]

I paid 405 euros delivered to the UK. Was curious so checked ebay and there is one for £2.2k but another seems to have sold for around £850 not long ago.

You can still get similar small etchings on Counter Editions for £1200-1500

There's quite a difference in size and quality between these and her more recent prints though. More clear when you see them side by side.

[concrete jungle]

Yeah agreed. These were (I think) originally released by Emin International around 2013. Assume IMMA had a show of her work following that and bought the remainder of the edition (200) in at the time. I tend to go to a couple of shows there every year and had noticed them framed up a couple of times in the last 5 years; price seemed decent but I only ended up purchasing one just before the link was posted on here - and I believe they were then completely hoovered up in a matter of days. They don’t compare to the £6k plus releases, but when considered alongside the similarly sized/editioned etchings on CE (I personally don’t like any of the CE remaining images) they were indeed good value in and around £375. That’s actually how much they cost on release back in 2013. Will hold on to mine as doubt I’ll pick anything comparable up moving forward. TE prices only moving one way……

[ignition0]

I see this print still hasn’t sold out. I wonder if it will, or what will happen to the unsold inventory. White Cube don’t like stuff lying around on their website for their A-list artists like Tracey for too long.

[Horatio Nelson]

I think this print is worth £10k every day of the week.

And that’s why most people on here wouldn’t consider buying it - because they can’t see short or even medium term profit in it.

Lots of Tracey’s prints can take time to move on primary when they aren’t priced in a tiered structure, or aren’t discounted by 50% compared to what equivalent works might achieve at auction (as was the case with Miller’s “Hate’s Outta Date”.

So who buys these works?

Collectors who can afford to spend £10k and not see it for a while; those who appreciate the art for what it is - a very decently sized (big!) statement piece with fluid, minimalist signature drawing/brushstrokes by Emin. I’d rather have one of these than most of the recent Counter portraits.

[Ruggs]

Personally, I think White Cube could have created a larger edition of 250 and set a price of £2,500 and still made an extra £125,000 for the charity. The fact that it’s still available at £10,000 tells you all you need to know.

Very true. But I guarantee you’d see 70% of those flipped within the first 12-18 months. Which I think the artist and gallery are alive to and it’s understandable that they’d want to avoid that in a charity edition run.

[ignition0]

I love it. Hoping it hangs around for a bit longer so I can save up!

Think it would look amazing framed up in a big room.

Not for flipping!

Why would they care about how much it gets flipped if they are doing a charity release for the right reason?

Surely the primary objective is to sell out fast and get the cash straight to the people who need it.

What's the point of a charity release where the charities get no money because it hasn't sold?

I hope none of the beneficiaries of the Gormley or Emin print sales are clinging to the edge of a cliff waiting for the next person to push the button on a purchase.

They might have a long cling.

Agreed. I would've gladly bought one at this price point and it would've benefited the charity to make more at an affordable price.
