I brung back from Damien Hirst exhibition some posters( 6 for me+ 2 flips + 2 gifts, +small ones, lovely ones, really) .. impressive !
so my question is simple :
May I have ( paper is thick and quality, printing and colors are great  ) to flattering them or I can keep them on tubes during :

1. Weeks

2. months

3. Years 

or I have to keep them flat ! Thanks for the answer it will be very helpful:-) .. ( WLD : weekend laziness disorder …) 

i will post soon photos about my trip to Damiensland/Hirstmaland )

Hi Lroy! I you plan to frame one, I would keep that one flat. Keeping them in their tubes won't be a very big problem, I guess. I had a poster that was kept rolled for more than twenty years and I could relatively easy flatten it.

Ok, thanks ! I have had a Jboy print ( kept one year or more in the tube as I heard ) and it has been catastrophic when I opened it ( rubbish , unrollable, creases everywhere ) ..
But, yes maybe posters are different : anyway I will have to check if the posters are in double and in the right tubes ).. but keeping them flat wass so exhausting..,
Just received a damaged print with big crease : what is happening with galleries ?! Since Covid they seem to don’t care and send prints, mini prints etc in awful condition..
It was not like that by the past …

Nice stash Lroy!

I have had a terrible travel with all of these by walk, by underground, then by train - I had not the right to carry with me all of them  ! It was so heavy with the book too ( the book is incredible really and the uk one is bargain ! go on it )...

My head is full of color and joyce... My Dismaland bis ( In more than 10 years I travel only to times, oen for Banksy, one for Hirst, Banksirst ! .. It is good for brain and met formidable people.. I odn't dare to open these tubes lol  ! I Don't want to spoil these beauties... Here are just tats and tees ( postcards are in a nice pack, but I think the luxurious Tote bag at 29 e is the most beautiful one ) .. Anyway better posting photos of the exhibition but I am  still a bit tired about the exhibition ( just woke up )... No so much young ahaha

Re: tubes and flattening - if they are posters, there is no problem in keeping them in the tubes.

The problems with tubes come when you have silkscreen prints in thicker paper

Thank you for the answer ! back to the initial post : i 'am a bit scared anyway ( I just received a spoiled print from  another artist, and it's really worrying ) , to check if they are in the right tubes, to check the 6 different ones and to take photos, I have to sort them out and to put them back in a tube, or not maybe i will put them under a big frame ;  A bit risky ... It's like a treasure for me

Anyway the small ones ( the ones of the exhibitiion, not these tubes  ) are genjus ones  : the paper seems to be in relief ! a reussite really ! Cartier is really ok !

Thank you @lroy, I’ll go for one of the 2 gifts! 😁

ahahah ! great answer ! Maybe I will make a little giveaway ! I will see.

The 2 gifts are for people that helped me to go back to Paris where I lived, it costed me a lot, and i had to sell obey prints.

Anyway If I make a giveaay, I will ask a neutral member to sort the winning number, as this no cheating, even my worst ennemy could get one ( no please no, not cookiemosnter ahahah ) ...

And in autumn, I will go back there to buy more and more, and above all, the tote bag ! I felt in love with Hirstein ! So clever lad !

Signed posters and books ( I sympahtized quickly with a girl there ) , were for people on a private listing.

80 quid for big ones, 40 quid for little ones !

Expensive innit ?

 ( ebay updated at 100 )

erm, nah;. Joiking... You can take off a zero... Anyway, they won't never be on line.

I am wondering if Hirst won't make a signed edition of the book.. I don't know why, I think so, this autumn...

Why, what would be the problem or the consequences?

I'm interested

[Lroy]

Hi Sunday folks, sun lovers and others !

I passed all the morning ( just finished ! ) to sort the posters out the tubes and to flatter the prints : yes I m saying “prints“ as these posters are very thick as said this eBay seller (  220 mg art paper ), last photo.

i got my six - I was afraid to had one in double ) + small ones etc ) not easy to sort out the big  posters of the tubes as they( Cariter staff )  rolled up in it without cristal paper, they were heavy and stuck the cardboard, so you will can see some ( really ok - not dramatic ahah ) creases on some …

Here they are - can’t remember which ones are in double but the first one is reserved I guess.

Anyway if you buy some, take them out of the tubes, they will be as cardboards in few months ! ( apart the little ones - I like litle ones ahha evenif others are classy ) :

Anyway they are wonderful and will be available in the museum until January 2022 ( last update, my first pic of the posters is genius ! so many colors lol... )

And the little one ;-) sorry I forgot you on the Hirst buddy bus motorway :

They are lovely, Lroy - thank you for showing them. I always give my tube straight to the framer because I’m too scared to get them out!

Yes, it’s incredible that Cartier did not take more attention - even if the price is low, quality and talent have no price - , when they roll them
In the tube ! I cared too ( it took me all the morning and just finished to eat simple nems ), but well prints seemed stuck at the tube ! What a job !
* sorry posters. Awesome posters ! Little gems!

I'd get them trimmed to remove all the terrible writing and thrown them in a cheap perspex frame.

I understand, it's only posters, posters=people. Banksy ( sorry to speak about him ) knows this too and still knows !

Anyway They are awesome for the price and I understand you for the writing ( I heard this in the queue, from ladies.... guys too, no discriminiation  ) .

As it 's a pink writing I like all of them, and they are the part of the artworks ( named ) ...

But I could undestand that a 80 cm on 60 could be a lot for a flat, home etc... X6, as they are 6 !

Anyway, I am not married with Cartier, nor Hirst, nor Bresson, But I reckon that they are very classy and awesome quality for posters !

Pure beauty when you have seen the exhibition ( even a manager from Cartier told me that they were great before going,  and I was not deceipt - with free tube too ) ...

To finish, the best ones - for me - as a great mariage with colors and writing are the small ones, those that are in the Paris streets. I like the quality of the small ones ( really poetics as all the posters and the exhibition )..

I felt in love with Hirst.

He gave me joy in my life, first one, since decades... colors.. - and a good night since years too -  and I love flowers too, I hated them before  ..

Anyway " cerisiers en fleurs " are the best trees in the world ! I remember this street near Holland Park, before Kensington, white ones all along.. wow, what a street !

Cherry blossoms are the gems of industrial and crowdy capitals, or towns..  Only London can have them.
