Price up a little too...

[chrispa]

I asked the ICA and they said

"this is a continuation of the first run bringing the edition size up to 600"

So I guess its another 300 being made available

Previously I was told 200. Tut tut tut

Hi, I don't really like the fact that because they sold out the first 300 in a few hours, now they decide to release another set... so it is a real limited edition?...

What do you think?

It always stated there was 300 in the initial release.
And they said there will be another 200 later i think.

This may still be the first 300 though... just unsold extras, or returns perhaps.

[john1539]

or sold and after the 200 additional they will add another 200 and so on... as soon as there are buyers. They created these additional for Art Basel Miami

It was known from the beginning the the first 300 will be just the first run. It was in the listing description all along.

Then, it was clarified there will be a second run, possibly with altered design (originally 200, which tbh didn't make much sense. Why 200 and not the 300, or why not two runs of 250?)

I chatted with Charlotte from ICA and she assured me that this is the second, final run of 300. The design hasn't been altered alter all.

Hope that helps

[john1539]

ok thanks. So the final edition size is 600? and each stool is numbered out of 600? how they can be numbered them with two runs of 300?

Edition is 600, the first run was numbered out of 300. Have no idea about the second run

[john1539]

It is mentioned on the ICA website that each stool is hand numbered. So 1/600... or 1/300 for the first run and then again 1/300 for the second run... strange so 2x 1/300

I might send Charlotte the 10th mail about that release if you want:)

[john1539]

yes please, many thanks

[maven]

Cheeky £50 price increase!

[Pawel]

I just remembered they are numbered like this

[john1539]

ok so this one should number 6 out of 600

They don't have that "out of" part. In theory can make 100k of them. I asked them could they change the description on the website. We'll see.

The first lot just have a number between 1 and 300, with no indication of the limitation.

Presumably this run will be numbered from 301 to 600, again with no indication of the limitation.

[john1539]

thanks for you replies. I don't think I will buy it
Any of you bought the stool?

Yep. Bought.
Recent, unsigned print editions cost thousands... so this is pretty good, if you like her work.

yeah they've changed it already from the first batch which I understood to be a limited edition of 500.

The description on the website has been changed to:

Finished in Kruger’s signature black, white and red, this bespoke stool was produced in an initial multiple of 300 with a final continuation of a further 300. Each stool is hand\-numbered and finished on the underside with the artist’s stamp of authenticity.

I guess that sorts it out.

I was going to, being in NYC I’ve followed her work for a long time. Charlotte had one for me unclaimed from the first round, but they wanted a wire transfer when I asked about credit card no response. The delay allowed me to rethink the purchase, which was on impulse to begin with, and I passed.

I read the stool as Kiss Ass, not Kiss My Ass.

[Eastend Boy 13]

Down to the last 20...looks like price @£550!

Just to be clear: Despite what the ICA website states, the stool isn't stamped on the underside. The box the stool comes in has the artist’s stamp.

Why do they keep putting the price up?
