Very nice image. But that white border ruins it for me.

[Art Lover 1234]

Just bought - thanks for the heads up!

[Francis]

At that price, I thought it was an original on paper.

Add a zero, and your about right for a work on paper add two zeros for a large canvass

I’m thinking 50-60k hammer based on primary prices 

[LJCal]

130k usd hammer, 162k usd with fees. Not bad for his first auction.

Times the above by two after tonight 

[bdc]

$180 shipping to the UK, ouch!

[Art Lover 1234]

Happy with my work on paper after that result... this print will be an absolute bargain imo

I went for it anyway, bet they’ll be import tax too.
I’m quite surprised it’s still around being an edition of 30 and all.

Shouldn’t be much import vat, probably £30. I calculated £900 all in with shipping and vat.

A lot of great contemporary prints take a while to sell out, especially for younger artists. Just not the same thirst and less people looking to flip than the urban stuff.

Beautiful and vivid lil piece. Strong auction results! I just discovered him as Art Basel was using his imagery in their emails.

[qest]

Artorious is displeased.

Has to be the worst packaging on a print I've ever received. Just a thin piece of cardboard on all sides. 3 of the 4 corners mangled. Anyone receiving international doesn't stand a chance.

Oh no, I'm waiting on mine to be delivered! Really can't understand in this day and age why people can't pack a print properly.

Fingers crossed for you my friend. I thought it was the Pejac postcard on my porch. Im expecting them to have majority of the prints damaged with this packaging. Its a lil ridiculous. 

[Francis]

I would them the benefit of the doubt due to covid. Harder to find the right person and packaging products. If they were all damaged, yours being damaged won't affect the value because if you want one, there are those unique embellishments to each print.

Ah yes, the always sought after handler-embellished print.

What? Why didn't they just fold it up and put it in an envelope? Who cares right?

Not always about the value, I'm just not displaying a bunch of mangled corners in a frame. Nor is that what I purchased. 

I am giving them no benefit. I receive my groceries delivered with more care. 

[Art Lover 1234]

Sold out now

[Art Lover 1234]

Thankfully mine not damaged - has come to London so was fearful

[jp226]

Got my Barry McGee today..... TERRIBLE packing. Multiple edge wear creases. Reached out to see what they plan on doing.

[DrWhite]

It’s always so disappointing when art turns up damaged - it’s basics that let these releases down I don’t believe there is any excuse for poor standards of packaging these days

I’ve found it’s happening more frequently these days, and it’s especially disappointing when it’s for a sold out edition and there’s no replacements available. Really sad in this instance as it’s a beautiful print by a promising artist that won’t be staying at this price point for long.

From what I understand is you can return for a reprint. At least that's what they're doing for the Barry McGee prints.

The sales of these prints benefit charities. You guys are making it very hard for them.
