Not that I would sell mine but what are the prices being asked for?

Sadly this will not be the last!

Im expecting my son to sell many of my art bits - He sometimes looks at what I've bought as if I am without taste!

He does like a couple of the pieces though so perhaps there is hope!

All four of the original iPad drawings were completed by Hockney in 2010. The prints are signed 'Hockney 2010'.

I can only imagine the stares you two got over the last week, especially during that funeral last Sunday.

[yorkie]

Of course 👍

Money taken from account on the 9th November for the book and print - so I guess as print guru said above its looking like they are ready to go.....

I am massively excited about the book and then the print (in that order strangely)

Next week is going to be a very long week!!!

I hope it lives up to your expectations. I'm sure it will. Which print did you go for?

[yorkie]

Tulips - I was in right at the start..... so I could have any of them but the tulips just seemed to be more colourful and vibrant.... not too bothered that the book is 251-500 in number.... cue discussion on low number debate!

My sister has a DH and has it framed in her toilet.... its worth about 30k pounds and just makes me laugh when I use the facilities.... especially when she has a print framed from Portugal that is as vulgar as you can get, quite big and poorly framed that must of cost all of 50 euros and this is in pride of place in her living room..... the irony of it all! When I say that to her she just says '... I like the boat it reminds me of good times in Portugal - the Portrait (DH) I can look at but not all the time!'.... no answer to that!

Excellent. It was my favourite too. I liked the bold colours. Reminded my (just a little) of Matisse, one of my favourite artists.
As for your sister, I actually agree with her. Value or name isn't as important as a piece of art having great meaning and invoking lovely emotions, in my view.

Guess you just have to see it to believe it.... its not so much the price of the artwork its the horrific framing of the one she loves.... seriously an upgrade would be a frame from the pound shop.... actually the whole thing looks like it could have come from the pound shop and it is so out of keeping with the rest of her art....

She has three Richard Rowan originals (paintings on glass) and they look so classy.... then there is that!

Yorkie

The meaning is however very true... and I agree with you there (and always a topic of debate)

And that curved frame must've cost a fortune too!

How are you even going to lug 97 pounds into the house?

[DrWhite]

Looks like a price hike is planned for the book/print if they have any left for 2017

[Hubble Bubble]

Had a major wobble this week. Got a call from Germany telling me my card had been refused. Thought they taken payment on order (I went for 'Tulips ' right at the start) but it transpires they were taking it this week. Had a horrible moment of thinking I'd missed out before being reassured they'd kept the print for me. Have to say - excellent and friendly communication from Taschen so far.

I should have posted something on here as I contacted them about a week after I had purchased and asked why the money had not been debited from my credit card..... they told me that the money would only be taken when they were ready to ship.

i could have helped save you the worry so I apologies for that..... glad it all worked out and yes I absolutely agree very friendly and considerate people!

No worries yorkie. My card had been changed in the interim due to fraud is all. Serve me right for not realising £3.5k hadn't been debited
