As far as I know most of GR prints from Serpertine were not signed, well the editions of 500. I think the price would be a little different if they were. Still love his work though.

No, none of them have been signed.  I assume that's the case here too.  These are huge prints, hard to imagine they sell out, don't you think?

They look lovely. Wander if they'd let me buy them through my business or if it has to be to a private individual?
Need to see them for real at that price though. Wasn't too impressed with the print quality of the last fence one when I saw it

Could you elaborate a bit more on the print quality? 
Anyone could comment on it? 

Those were printed on a matt acrylic, so all looked a little fuzzy. These ones are c type prints on dibond, so will be different to that, but still would be good to see the finish on it first.

Got the price directly from the gallery.

"Each work is priced at £5,000 GBP excluding VAT."

Agree, good value for the size. If only could afford one...

[Poster Bob]

They're Richter works; they'll sell out. There is high quality video of the originals on his site. They look great but I don't know how well they'll translate into prints. I imagine the quality would be very high as p8-p11 look great and they're also c-prints.

[cmodart]

Tough to get a signed Richter print in his iconic squeegee motif. Took me years

Would love one, couldn't possibly afford one. Was hoping they would be in the price range of P8-11, see that they are considerably bigger.

Weren't the P8-11 30cm/30cm or something like that? Not really surprising these are a tad more expensive.

Yeah of course, when I realised the size of these ones I wasn't surprised at the price. Just hoping to get an entry level Richter at some point (wasn't overly keen on the fence P13), but not something I can imagine being able to afford for a while at least. Great buy for someone ... but way beyond my means unfortunately.

I'm not huge fan of the flow series then again these are fairly priced considering the size of the prints.
I love bild series, signed blurred context, portraits prints are stunning in person and very hard to source.

anyone hear back after sending in the form?

I called the editions manager this morning who said they will be doing allocations next week and sending confirmations then.. 

[jayjay]

I think I'm liking the P16 more. Both look great.

[loartve]

The risk is that they will milk this P series (I've heard P52 will be lovely!) but £5k plus VAT for a 100x200cm print is not unreasonable given this is Richter...

[john1539]

Good prices for nice editions by Richter, even if not signed, but numbered!

Unsigned photo of a painting? Seems more like Museum gift shop wares.

If anyone is considering as an investment, I watched much of the Bonham's live feed (pretty interesting actually) the other night, and all similar pieces (Bagdad, Ifrit, Aladin) failed to sell. Failed to reach Reserve, starting/peaking at 3800 GBP each. Auctioneer quipped something about it being a bad night for Richter.

Fence and something else sold for 2,500 GBP.

Great artist, not inspired pieces IMHO.

[Poster Bob]

Those results were surprising. I think that overall, the results were poor given the potential for Brexit. There will be more of them coming to auction soon.

Don't fail to look at size here. Those are small pieces, and these new ones have 10x more total area. That's not a typo.

P1 and P2, which are half this size, sell very well.

[Phear Loathing]

Are these the largest to date then?

[therivler1]

Of the P series, yes

[noirrion]

If anybody gets an offer to buy P15 and is not interested anymore let me know. 

[Poster Bob]

While I wholeheartedly agree that size is very important, p1 and p2 are squigee style works which are heavily favoured amongst collectors as opposed to the flow series works.

Nothing yet. Hope soon before the GBP recovers (sorry mates).

[Poster Bob]

I don't think it has anything to do with luck; they can't be that much in demand, can they?

[barsukauk]

If any one got a confirmation and like to sale PM

Thanks

[loartve]

Demand would have been very high and I would have thought the Serpentine's allocation was a lot less than 500. They'll be worth at least double cost in a short space of time

[Gunny]

Who will have the rest of the allocation?

Most likely the publisher, the artist/ artist's studio and his primary dealers

Where was P12 (Annunciation) originally available?  I'm pretty sure it wasn't at Serpentine (at least online).

I'm really hoping some Overpainted Photographs are released in the P series this fall when the catalogue raisonee is supposed to be released.

Private, same as 14 and other releases.

[john1539]

Hi, any more details / image on P14?

[cyberkid]

btw, P1 was sold yesterday at Philips, London for £31,250 (Estimate £8,000 - 12,000) !!
Richter is still a good investment...

[therivler1]

anyone else get followup?

Even if Serpentine only had half the edition to sell, it is still a couple hundred people they need to get in touch with.
