No info on the price as yet.
You could buy them separately at first but am unsure it will be the case now.

I was first exposed to Lister at 11 Spring Street...





There were also massive profiles of similar heads. Never saw the superheroes until recently.

im liking listers style in his prints, but not too keen about puting super heros on my walls. anyone no of anything he has done that is not superhero series. i think that this superhero stuff will wear off on me so dont really want one. anyone have any ideas / opinions?

"does lister do anything bar superheros?", the answer is yes. He plays the spoons really well, and also makes a great Cheesecake.

[neutral]

So who is buying the prints then?
£850 for the pair !!!
I ll pass and rather buy an original instead !

[solar77]

I think they'll probably stay in stock for a while at that price. Not that there's anything wrong with that. At least the people who really want them should all have an opportunity to buy from the gallery.

[pezlow]

Yeah pass. I was hoping they would be about half that but no way can afford £850 for them.

elms lester new lister prints ,£850 pair,100 edition,? where price come from?

[neutral]

Pe order list email only...

[Simococo]

very nice image though

[neutral]

Yes cracking images, the best canvases they had so far.
Yet also too much money for what it is, £700 would have been right.
All the people I know have passed.

[guest2]

Yep, pass. Even though I'm not even on the list, thanks guys!

[gozgoz]

Yes Lister does do more than just superheros. email him and ask for his agents. Anna Lyons & Wiet will email u and give u tonnes of his stuff and its incredible.... some etchings... some old prints...

Where was that announced?

And also pass from me - too rich for my blood at the moment.

[giiiant]

In on the pre-order list, anyone fancy going 50/50?

[Simococo]

toooo expensive

[giiiant]

So who would've gone for this if you could buy them seperately?

[neutral]

At £425 for an edition of 100, I would say NO.
As said before over hyped released and not a smart move on a talented upcoming artist.
Shame really...

If they are not selling they might split them... cough Micallefs print in Newcastle !

I got the email too, mine says 750GBP (including VAT) for the pair...

750GBP for two prints seems okay to me given that the editions from stupidkrap are going for 250- 300 GBP each. A top image too.

Well edition size at Stupidkrap is 35, this is 100.
I am surprise they have lower the price of £100, actually I am not as it was not selling probably. This is not looking great at all, or maybe it was a "mistake".
Still not feeling that one, taking the piss really : "let us price very high and dam, it is not selling so let us lower the price".
You thought they will know better...

They weren't that to start out though - I recall that they were $120 AUS starting off? The Paper Monster Superman one was $400, and I thought that that was a fairly healthy jump, albeit for a much larger image.

Yep, that's a fair point, although I think that these images are a lot stronger. I'm tempted but will think about it- at least there isn't much competition!

Nobody? I get one half you get the other. Defeats the object I know, but there's no way I can fork out £750 for both. £375 each.

Or maybe not a single person phoned in to confirm their £850 purchase.

[neutral]

Let us hope it is another mistake then.

[Montubu7]

£750 now then?
I would be in @ £600.

I hope so but I'm a bit more cynical- I think that Elms is simply responding to a lack of demand. Part of the problem is the current belief that all prints should sell out within 5 minues or be branded 'failures'. Lister has a huge future (he is, in my opinion, up there with Micallef and Neate in terms of talent). If the release takes a week or a month or even a year to sell out then that's okay- at least it will give people time to make an informed decision. It's not that long ago that POW waited months to sell Banksy prints at 30GBP.
