Michael Kagan 🇺🇸 Helmeted Astronaut Paintings • Brooklyn

Gutted to have missed these. They work surprisingly well in monotone.
Should look great framed up in a white thin faced box frame. Looking forward to seeing some pics once they’re up on the wall.

Interested ! let me know if still for sale.

I’m still waiting for mine. Stung for 20% import tax. I think I read on a different thread this can be challenged and reduced to 5%? Does anyone has a link to the HMRC form I need to fill in? Cheers.

Dropped mine at the framers, White matte, should pop like crazy. Print slides around a little in the tube, just a heads up, watch the edges.

Yup. That’s the one.

Good man. Much appreciated.

I’m not sure if it’s just me... but the print quality I was quite disappointed on. It’s got like all these dots in the image. I’ll try to attach a photo.

Hard to beat the printing quality from Corriander studios on his other prints

Got stung on the import charges as well, it's not great that a commodity code wasn't added. Such a simple thing for the sender to include in their documentation. I can see some of these arriving with edge dings as the print is allowed to move freely within the tube (no tissue at either end).

I think framed in a thick white museum mount with white frame will look really smart!

Hi,

Interested in Michael Kagan's newer print, In Memory from the Virginia MOCA benefit. I know these shipped out fairly recently, so let me know if you have one and are open to selling.

Thanks!

I am a BIG MK fan and I wanted to give you a heads up on this release. This print was very underwhelming in person for me. I waited 7 months? and could not have been more meh when I opened it. The photo that was used to market this release was the actual painting (which I understand as the print didn't exist yet) but the quality of the actual print you will receive is so low, I don't see how you couldn't feel a little taken after comparing the two images. The print looks like it was made on a copier at your office. Very hard to tell it's any type of screen print. I think anyone who is a collector will be disappointed in the quality. It's NOTHING at all like the Avant Arte releases. Just wanted to set your expectations as you consider the secondary market prices.

[Behind The Beats]

Thx for the info Richie!

Thats your opinion of course. I'll offer you cost price then. Ready to pay immediately.

I appreciate the insight. Yes, I've heard those things, too. Both that the print quality is poor and the packaging was subpar which damaged some pieces. I'll be sure to set expectations accordingly. At the end of the day it might be nice for a print like this to exist so that small collectors can participate.

Selling my copy of this. UK based and can post to anywhere in Europe. Cheapest I can find online are £1000+ but will let this go for £850.

Oh my word, these are so bad. How can they package this cheap tat up and label art with a price tag of $680. Just look at the state of them.

[startimeash]

Hard, hard pass 😆

[Newar]

Asia market prefers Michael Kagan and toys than Cleon and his scuptures OTI knows
Hard pass

[Charlie Bronson]

I think i saw these for sale for $8.99 in the toy section at Target last week

[rbt]

Race to the bottom cash grab for him and Nina Chanel

[Riotcops]

They'll sell out but I think these releases are doing damage to their market. They are boarding the "hype" train. Can't judge someones moral compass but I simply view these as a quick cheque vs sustaining their artistic integrity. Turns me off their OG work.
