Gerhard Richter 🇩🇪 Abstract • Contemporary Art • New Relea

[quezer]

Another data point but this is accurate AFAIK

[Arty]

What do you mean, Quezer?

[quezer]

Just that the above statement by tobi was also my experience

[from mjolnir]

I was offered both for $15k yesterday, but I only really want Rocyn and they aren't selling separately apparently / or just to me

[quezer]

Out of curiosity, have folks received invoices yet?

got one. But I can simply see now, that I can't afford it. If anyone want's it simply for cost send me a DM. Just wanted to give someone in here a chance to get it - and maybe I can redirect them to you. DM me - I know it's sold out

No words.

An old friend always used to say: No matter what it is, if you can’t buy it twice, don’t buy it!

[kathart]

This one sold out within 24 hours; and all on reserve after only a couple of hours, so it seems like the demand was still strong for this!

Is it really sold out ? I visited the homepage some minutes ago and it seems to me it's still possible to apply for the print. Although i am sure you probably can't do anything wrong by buying a (signed and numbered on the backside?) G. Richter work, there are some things that bother me: a relatively small sized screenprint for whatever its worth...in my opinion the contrast of the black framing is also too harsh for the print.

It is 100% sold out A couple have been given to the Richter Foundation though, that will be sold as some kind of print-package and alike at the show/clients

It's signed, dated and numbered on the front.

[themarbu]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Saw this as well on the invoice - originally thought it was signed / numbered on the back. Was pleasantly surprised to see it is signed on the front now. 

[kathart]

Yea, would also have been pretty crazy to sign in on the back, when it arrives framed

[quezer]

Oh agreed, that’s why I was surprised in the first place when it called that out as an intentional choice on the DZ site lol

[beicoblack]

Honest question: I really like the print, and getting a signed Richter has always been a dream. I received the invoice yesterday, and I'm not accustomed to transferring such significant amounts. Their account is in the UK, but they request payment in USD, which my online banking doesn't support. It automatically switches back to GBP. Any advice?

Additionally, the invoice didn't specify any shipping costs. When I inquired, they mentioned providing shipping quotes after I make the payment. Is this standard procedure?

Thanks. Any advice is appreciated.

Not sure if it's standard, however i asked them about the price and can inform you that The shipping + packaging etc - to a place in EU - is around 630 gbp. So pretty pricey

[beicoblack]

Thank you rinz. So that makes it another 800 USD on top, huh?

What are your thoughts about this one? 

Gerhard Richter
PAMUL, 2023
Ten-color inkjet print on paper
16 3/4 x 21 1/8 inches (42.6 x 53.7 cm)
Framed: 17 7/8 x 22 1/4 inches (45.5 x 56.5 cm)
Edition of 80, 16 AP
$8,000
Framed

It looks like a very expensive stain, completely underwhelming!

[Gunny]

The fact it is invoiced in USD means they only need to charge 5% tax as it is shipped from the USA - however £630 gbp for shipping means i will be passing up on the opportunity - that is way too much.

That may well be the case, but imo, it still looks like a stain....

Imagine all of the buyers spending 100k on Richters like this. I imagine homes full of expensive pieces like these from blue chip artists. Almost like people are collecting artists and not the art.... 

[nobokov]

The only Richters that are worth buying are colorful abstracts and photo paintings. The others will be difficult to resell if you ever need to.

[LJCal]

Do you have to go with Zwirners shipping quotes? I can get these shipped for about 1/2 that price. Are they shipping from the US? If buyers can arrange their own shipping happy to help anyone with organising a cost effective quote. Shouldn't be more than about £300 from US to UK to pack and ship these. Got loads of shipping contacts in the US who can sort this. If it's UK to US/EU could do this for about £200 packed and shipped. I'll find out and post tomorrow.

[Gunny]

So, this print is $8000 + 400 import tax + 400 customs processing fee + 800 shipping.........

If you are in EU it will "only" be 400 usd for import. And then the print + shipping. Not saying that it's cheap in any way, but 400 less.

They will ship the prints from London. Additionally, the shipping cost of 630 GBP does not include insurance. You can opt for insurance at an additional cost of 100 GBP (at least that´s what they offered to me).

Same here - did you go for it? 

[Tobi187]

quezer Initially I wanted one but 8000 USD + 800 USD shipping + 125 USD insurance + custom duties / taxes to Switzerland really put me off.
I recently purchased an edition from Berlin, and I had to arrange the shipping to Switzerland by myself. I contacted an art logistic company, and the cost was 180 EUR, for pick up and delivery including insurance.
