Found a little corner of HB Towers that will house the book.

popping up at auction already

[Winter]

Given the strong auction result I would say it's a long shot but what do I know.

If anyone got the book and print and has had a change of heart, let me know. Would only be looking at cost though

I don't think this will tempt many / any owners

Why don't you contact Taschen directly- I'd imagine they have held back a few of each for shows & fairs throughout 2017. Has to be worth a try, and I'm sure their price would be much better than auction
Also I believe Dominic guerrini had a few pieces at around £5k - good luck, I'm sitting in front of mine just now & it's a quality piece

Great article - thanks and very interesting reading....

The size of the print when you open one of the pullouts from the book is amazing..... When I visited my sister this weekend (she has the book and the stand) we spent some time looking at some of the pictures that she had picked out as her favourites and I have to say that I originally bought the book for the print (if that makes sense) and having a little time to go through the book it is truly stunning.

I do however wish that Taschen would stop sending me the books.... every time I'm back in the Dales I have to trudge to the Post Office hoping for something much better than what I actually end up with!

I have asked to be taken off the mailing list but it seems to be a very slow thing to execute!

Show publicity shame lending himself to gutter media.

I was thinking the same. Top trolling of The Sun.

Hi, what does ,"taking the piss," mean? Im not familiar with that idiom. Does it mean, doing it as a joke?

[Hubble Bubble]

As a follower of Liverpool FC and DH... I'm a little disappointed and conflicted.

[chads007]

Doubt he's trolling, he's giving and receiving publicity and that just helps the sun.

Correct - British slang I guess for having a joke at their expense

Thanks Romulus

with an interesting etymology...

"Take the piss" may be a reference to a related (and dated) idiomatic expression, piss-proud, which is a vulgar pun referring to the morning erections which happen when a man awakens at the end of a dream cycle (each about 90 minutes in length throughout the night) or may be caused by a full bladder pressing upon nerves that help effect erection. This could be considered a 'false' erection, as its origin is physiological not sexual, so in a metaphoric sense, then, someone who is "piss-proud" would suffer from false pride, and taking the piss out of them refers to deflating this false pride, through disparagement or mockery.[6][7] As knowledge of the expression's metaphoric origin became lost on users, "taking the piss out of" came to be synonymous with disparagement or mockery itself, with less regard to the pride of the subject.

I'm based in the USA and have one available.

[Deleted]

Please, if anyone has one of these and wants a pain free sale, please PM me with a price, (please be gentle with me) i was after one on pre release but my house was eating all my money, and so wanted one but just couldn't do it, and the government wanted me to pay my taxes (cheeky monkeys) Now finally got a bit of spare cash.

can also trade, part trade etc etc, I am aware of the one on ebay from Dominick

xx :-)

[Deleted]

I can offer £5k if thats ok? Its roughly 50% return for it?

I need one, will be framed etc

[Winter]

Maybe speak to Dominic Guerinni, he may be prepared to negotiate or to trade seomething for one.

[Ruggs]

I'm in London this Friday and have been endlessly trying to book tickets for David Hockney's exhibition without any luck. Can't seem to buy online and phones are jammed. Also sent an e-mail without reply. If anyone can help me out with 1 adult and 1 child ticket for late afternoon viewing please get in touch. Obviously happy to pay face value and a bit more.

[Happy Shopper]

If you plan to go back to Tate Modern or Britain during the year it might be nearly the same price to get a £70 membership!
I think you can take a child even with the cheapest option.

EDIT2: Kids needs to be 16 or Under... so it's a pretty good deal.
Crazy, as a 12-18 ticket is nearly as much as an adult!!

[Sundowner]

Happy Shopper is right - membership is the way to go. Cost of membership for a year (including a guest) is £110 (this show is £19.50 per person). I went on Sunday with the missus and the little'n and we walked straight in past the timed queue.

[Ruggs]

Think I might try the membership option. I'm sure to visit again several times throughout this year. Also planning a short stay in July/August so it would make sense. Thanks for the advice guys!

[Argiebaji]

Hey Ruggs.. I hope you get in .. Leave a little review on here after ... not too many spoilers mind ..!!
Me and the missus are off to see it in March.

[chads007]

Off to see it in a couple weeks. Is there a book for the exhibit?

I would like to buy a David Hockney book and print

The print will be framed, and the book will be displayed

I wish to pay £5,000

I have the cash available

I live in Kent, but cover London and the home counties so can collect if the book and print reside there
