This is a beauty and his oil work is brilliant. (And I have no skin in the game)

[Behind The Beats]

one of the best prints of the year imo. looking forward to seeing this in the flesh and will be my 4th purchase from avant <>

[hiya]

An exceptional looking print quality wise, not my favourite image of Michaels but I'm sure it'll look great framed.

[Jaylove]

Really like this one. Passing but willing to buy with someone else’s money.

[robdenice]

The imagine isn't for my walls but the print looks stunning, love these bold strokes

[Deleted]

I like the image and style. The thick white border is what stopped me, not only on this print but most prints that havs this ..i prefer them full bleed and if possible deckled hand torn

[skinnydipper]

Couldn’t resist on this one,

It’s big but I’ve always wanted a ‘higher places’ and haven’t seen many for sale on secondary market

Now sold out

[nandaman]

I don't buy his prints because I like his work so much, I'm convinced I want to save up to buy a small original....but then the price of his original work keeps on going up and then I can't afford it. Dang. Love his astronaut-themed stuff...

Then buy the prints. 

When his OG's go up, so will his prints. When you have enough to buy an OG, sell the prints.

Art hedging.

I know, I know....I've done that in the past...but as I'm trying to move to all original works, it goes against my overall mission!

sadly missed this, completely forgot. Looks amazing

I try only to buy originals also, but allow myself to buy a print, when I can’t afford to buy an original by a particular artist. It’s the only way that I can afford anything by Blu, Jenny Saville, Charming Baker and Banksy (though I can’t afford his prints anymore either!), to name but a few.

Depending on size, image, etc - they are $5,000 - $20,000+   But super cool.  I wish I had $20k to spend on art...!

wish i had paid more attention lately. this is one i would have really liked. the pictures make it seem as though the print appears to have a layered and textured feel to it that really captures his original work, will be interested to hear from the buyers if that is so in the flesh.

These were printed at Coriander studios - great quality & yes you can see the layers/texture- they have done a top notch job as usual!!

Received mine the other day. Ive never bought anything from Avant Arte before, but I must just give credit where its due for the quality of the packaging. Wooden boxed, with foam and board protection inside.. its quite clear a lot of thought had gone into it. Not sure if this is standard with prints from them, but was really superb.

Oh, and the print is great too!

Hi all,

So did anyone get this framed up by Avant Arte themselves , I’ve spoke to them and the 400 euros quoted is for white mdf frame with uv glass. They recommend museum glass however can’t ship like this. Wondered what anybody else has done, how much it cost them and what finish they went for.

Tempted to just say yes as it’ll be shipped and ready to hang pretty quickly, but if I can save a few quid and get a better finish amight be tempted to wait.

Packaging was amazing, it was like an early christmas present! Didn't order it framed though.
