Daniel Arsham - Hourglass, by mrred11 on Mar 4, 2019 19:52:15 GMT 1, How and why was this sold out 15 minutes before published release time. Bad business by the artist. Why send us a release time via his email newsletter and not release at that time? I understand combating resellers but how do real collectors get a chance this way?

That is pretty crazy, and they haven't even shipped yet, obviously.
After the failed Hollow Figure Flips these may sell for less than cost.

More a color way than a triptych. I know you all are joking but that is the main reason I didn't go for it (especially after the price jump). If you look at the box it shows 8 hourglasses, 2 of which are colored in (white and blue) which logically means there will be 6 more in different colors of sand...

I do like them but glad I didn't purchase, the increase plus postage and vat made it very pricey. If he's going to release 8 versions, potentially could get one for a song if I'm patient.

Owning 8 would take up too much space in your cupboard, and if I visited someone who had 8 of these on display I’d be like uh, ok, gotta go.

If I invited 8 guests for dinner, they could have one each and we could sit around the table and see whose timer ran out first.
fancy some nibbles?

Received mine yesterday and was having issues with the sand clumping as well. Dropped Arsham studios a line and got this response: Due to the Hourglass’s sensitivity to humidity, we suggest you place the item in direct sunlight to allow any moisture to evaporate. A gentle, swirling motion can be used to get the sand moving again. Hope this helps, got mine sorted fairly quickly.

Followed the tip above and days after sand is still stuck on sides and middle.... not sure what to try next. Would have thought they d figure out this problem with the 2nd release but it’s like they didn’t bother? Any more tips?
