NO. That is an image on ALL books. Hand painted are the spraypainted shapes.

So, the hand painted part is the small piece? looks to be around 7"x10" if the book is 9"x13"?

Ah, I see, thanks for the clarification.

[blurp]

All good. I also thought that was the case but, once it was confirmed, I was underwhelmed.

Thanks for the heads up. Just bought the edition of 40.

Of course that is assuming that the limited edition book isn't already sold out. It let me add 50 to my shopping cart.

Fortunately I was about to pull the trigger on the $2,500 Dr. Dre limited edition Pendleton cover.

Yes, that’s a bit worrying. Hopefully it works out and we both get one :-)

Yes indeed, I was getting ready to pull the trigger, but I don't think I will now!

Questions confusions!
Is it a print and a book?
Or a book with spray paint of the shapes over a printed cover?
And why isn’t it sold out by now?
Who is this lady and why is her book cover different??

The lady has the standard catalogue with the dust jacket. The handpainted book is the book without the dust jacket, the paint is on the cover itself.

She's holding the regular $70 copy, there was a book signing lastnight

It does look like spray paint/stencil on the cover with a print on top, doesn’t it? It’s a bit confusing, but I ordered one too. I really like the artist and his work. However, I have a bad feeling that they might be overselling the book and I could end up with a refund.

Book with the dust jacket and without:

[Gentle Mental]

It’s quite lovely and way better than a printed plate or a giclee album cover.
And the regular prints are selling at 2 kidneys and up. Hmmmmmm

And a look inside the box (picture from the director of Mumok):

[Gentle Mental]

To the tech genius - when you could add as much as you like to cart and checkout, does it mean this pre order will never sell out?

seems cheap for something painted by Adam

Cheap compared to primary. But his work is usually bought in on the secondary. So maybe not cheap if you're looking to resell.

[kjg]

There is also an edition of 10, which includes the spraypainted book and an original drawing. It’s a bit more expensive though: 5.000 USD.

4500USD isn't a bit. it's a kidney.

Yes :-) And it’s a rather small drawing. 

[Criminal Mischief]

Where are you seeing this edition of 10?

[topper]

Well, i'm very late to the party and it let me order one, so i guess they're taking orders they can't fulfill.

The curator of the show in Mumok museum told me about it.

Yes, that’s quite weird isn’t it? I think that Pace are very professional, so maybe they will take orders and allocate?

If it's actually sold out, then maybe it'll just serve as free data collection for the gallery.

I can't imagine a gallery like Pace needs that kind of cheap trick.

Are they taking your money when you pre-order, or just your details ?

I just checked. I paid the book and the costs for sending it to me.

Hopefully you get one, and won't end up having to be refunded

Thanks, that’s very kind of you. I hope so too :-)

[topper]

Yep money taken.

Someone just told me (via Insta) ‘not to worry’, so I am quite optimistic. 

[pamplemousse]

I’m not surprised they haven’t sold out yet. I was excited when I first saw the covers and nearly pulled the trigger yesterday then realised you are paying an extra $900 for some simple stencilled shapes you’d find in a nursery. I really wanted that small print seated nicely within an embossed section to also be hand finished. Love Pendleton but this could have been better…packaging looks top notch though!
