Julian Opie 🇬🇧 Statuette • Pop Art Portrait • Lenticular

[Winter]

That reminds me, I still need to get this framed. It was released through MOMA at a charity event.

[cutiehoney]

I wouldn't worry about its lifespan. Julian wouldn't put anything out that wasn't top quality and built to last. If you did have any problems, Julian Opie/Alan Cristea, would always fix it for you.

I think this is iconic of Julian Opie. I love that he works in so many different mediums.

I wonder what a group of these would be like?!

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, I think LED's like that are made to last for a long long time, but I guess it would still be a worry if it packed up after a few years

Does it come with a warrantee? ;D

[wiz]

Actually, not too proud to say i was wrong here with my initial comment, have been looking at it again and do like it now!, i still dont care for his prints at all but this work i do like, might give Cristea a shout later, wonder what chance there is of a PT of this work?. Suppose where Art is concerned im a fickle whore after all.
cheers and best
wizrong.

edit: Nope... have gone off it now.

Hey Wiz,

sorry to be naive, but what's a PT?

[wiz]

Prototype Cutiehoney.

[cutiehoney]

I'm still confused Wiz! Are you trying to get a PT so it will be cheaper? ... or are you just being funny... or neither?

I wish! usually cost a bit more for a PT i have found, sometimes able to get hold of one thats a bit rough or a slightly different one to the run of something and i would always prefer one thats different myself.

I dont get this at all, really not for me. and not at £900.

[cutiehoney]

Thanks for the lesson Wiz! ;D

Ronhill... how can you say 900 pounds is expensive, when Opie is a world renown artist.. has work in Museums and leading collections.... yet people in this forum would pay 1000+ for prints by Nick Walker, Banksy ed of 750, DFace,etc.

You may not like Opie, but this is a very inexpensive way of owning a work of his, in a medium which he is famous for using.

The piece has a lovely rhythm and is mesmerizing.

Any one that gets one won't be disappointed. ;D

sorry cutiehoney I didnt say £900 was expensive, i just dont see the point in owning a work because its a cheap way to get a piece form an artist. Im very aware that he is collected by major galleries and such, its just that i dont get anything from this piece, apart from a headache.

Each to their own, and this is what makes art collections a very personal thing.

Hope you enjoy this work, im sure you will.

[carl]

I dont get this. Sorry

[graeme501]

i like it, really like opie's style and this is something different than the norm

[Maxie]

not for me either, the led's are a bit fast and make me feel sick - but then a few beers doesnt help that!
