Thankfully mine arrived without any damage but is there a reason these couldn't be shipped rolled in a tube?

Because it's embossed

[nighthawk]

Embossed invaders were rolled, were they not?

yep.

got mine, looks pristine, a very minimal edge damage but almost looks like it's due to the paper cutting so won't be making a big deal out of this. I do wonder how one could spend all that money on having custom boxes made but couldn't figure out how to properly secure the print... every time I open/close this cardboard sandwich I think I'm crushing the print's corners/edges

Just got my Royal Gene and Ethics back. Stunning! Would recommend to anyone who has the wall space.

Pictures can literally never do it justice.

Total Size of Framed piece ended up being 61"x61". An absolute monster, but the people who have seen it are completely taken back by the size alone. I went with a black silk fabric wrapped around another frame to give depth and used uv plexi, the total cost was $997 and worth every penny.

Think both mine is ready on saturday, cant wait. Good to see "not many" are on the bay. 5-6 out of 154 prints. Even C.H Hide and Seek and Transformer had more. Quality sign that people will keep these.

By this time I think 3-4 had flipped from CH hide and seek and it was a part two of a series, which caused more flip. Only one KF has "sold" on ebay. Once again it proves that the fourm hype is greater than the rest of the world. If these were that popular, more would have sold on the secondary. Plain and simple.

How did the gallery resolve the damaged prints? Is this like the murakami sculpture all over again?

they offer full refund if you don't want to keep it or pay for restoration if you want to keep it and have it fixed

[showbeagle]

Replacements?

[Pawel]

No replacements unfortunately. On the bright side got the VAT refund today.

[njr911]

Did they mention certificates would be following ?

Got my VAT refund today

I am not aware of certificates / COA with this release. Keep your email receipts and packaging.

We are all glad about the VAT refund. Reckon it will only cover a third of my framing costs.

they sent a paper invoice with the print signed by hand by Avantarte, does the trick I guess

It should be in the clear customs envelope on the outside of the box. Although, based on their Block Chain Authenticity description (https://avantarte.com/assistance/certification/) it does seem like there should be some physical COA other than an invoice.

I didn't get one either. There were 4 sheets of paper in the clear customs envelope outside the box, but none of them was a signed (or otherwise) invoice.

There was a personalised card from Christain inside the fabric bag, but there was definitely no other paperwork inside the box.

these would be such a lot of trouble to fake for someone, what with the embossing and everything, I don't think anyone would bother.

Agreed. People are only going to fake prints that flip big and as much as like her work, her market isnt strong enough to support fakes. At least yet...

[gmidd]

I just received an email from Christian saying that physical certificates are being mailed separately. So there are physical certificates and the digital certificate all with the original owner's name. Sounds pretty secure to me. As others have said though, these prints would be very difficult to fake, so probably not much of an problem anyways.
