Tempted...

[gd79]

The man in it bugs me though. A disconnect with the other versions

[Rouen Cathedral]

Not a fan of this one.

The ballerina ones are very quick to go and I’d imagine this may be similar. But with the higher price point and the worse image I will probably pass.

Agreed it bugs me a little, but it does show scale. Still tempted.

Not liking this release either guys.

The first ballerina/containers print he released was great, I liked it but more importantly my wife really liked it also, but we missed out.

I only buy prints at cost but sometime In the future I can see us getting one 👍

[ststwalls]

Why in your opinion this one is 600€

Last two print by JR cost at least 1020€/1200€.

The edition size is good, and not 500...
20 colours lithograph ...


Depend on the images?

JR's market is a bit like Paco Pomet, everybody wants one or two pieces from him, but the other works barely have any interest.

My issue with the street works of JR is that despite all his funding he uses cheap printing with low black contrasts for his street pieces, and it just doesn't look that good most of the time. Doesn't take much effort to hand paint the blacks or even use better printers?

All in all the low production quality ends up reflecting on these prints...

Size. The more expensive ones are usually 100 x 70. This is 70 x 50.

I really don’t know if It’s only about this, but that’s can be true.

It really does seem to be. In the past couple of years, releases that are 70 x 50 have been around 600 euros. Releases that are 100 x 70 have been 1000-1200. 

[hellfo]

Imo jr's work is (very) good only on the street. Like others (vhils for example), putting it on a print doesn't make too much sense. It's better an artist book.

[Brittany's Urban]

I really like this one.
I am probably biased since I own "The Ballerina Jumping in Containers, Le Havre 18 JR".
It is really bringing so much colours to the wall and he is using really nice printing houses, was IDEM in Paris for The Ballerina Jumping in Containers.

Do you think this is done because of the scale at which his street works are created? I'm not disagreeing with you just curious. 

[mrred11]

How come JR does not make prints of the images he put on walls instead of photos of it? That never sat right with me.

Likely because he considers the placement to be an integral part of the art.

[sfnyc]

mrred11 there are several other artists using large wheatpaste (ie Ron English) and they use better / more expensive printing or even finish it by hand.

And yes placement is important but he has also released print images by themselves (the wrinkled series)

[Newar]

Not that Bad , there is some poetry in this one (yes ballerina is maybe a stronger image)
cheaper (but still missing the old prices and better than the last 4 one

[vei]

Well turns out couldn’t resist buying 😀

I have the small one as well, which is a hy I was unsure until the last second about buying this one. But glad that I did.

[vei]

Mine has arrived and the tube is something special. French style I guess

[Nick]

I went for one of these too in the end and very happy I did. Looks great in person and much prefer it to the smaller 'Ballerina jumping in containers' that is a bit of a dissapoint in the flesh.
Agree with you vei , never seen a tube quite like that:)

Nice in flesh ! the sleeve was with the print ? one of the best packaging for print (after Avant Arte) never got one

[Nick]

Newar the sleeve is mine but never seen a tube like this before. Shame I didn't take pictures but it is completely sealed at one end, strong tape almost like tennis racket grip secured the top end with a wax seal to boot.
Inside there was the customary Social-Animals white glove for handling, but also an internal ring of thick card to stop any movement of the rolled print which itself came in a printed dust bag. All rather over the top but was nice a change and almost bomb proof
