Yeah prices have gone overboard now. Sorry, not buying into the game. They are not even Hand finished...

Ah but they’ve got platinum leaf this time… 😉

Plat trading under $1k/Oz my man. Gold is 80% more. Should have been palladium.

Anyone remember when LY's paintings were $700?

[Kevin Anderson]

LUV’s Street Station from GR Gallery was $200 at release.




This was May, 2020.

Yeah, I feel stoked to have several of her prints. She’s a really nice person to talk to as well. Let’s me practice my Japanese.

Did you ask her about the character she paints?

Yes, I have. The LUV’s are characters that represent her emotions and experiences. They enjoy skateboarding, but have other hobbies as well, such as taking walks and reading. At least this is what I have gleaned from our conversations.

I got mine at $500+tax at Avenue des Artes... (just last year)

There was a painting for $500?

Hi all,

Next week we’re launching our editions with Adriana Oliver & LY. Exclusively for the discord community we’ll be doing a draw for 2 of LY’s print, 2 of LY’s sculptures and 2 of Adriana’s print. Figured you’d might like an extra shot at getting the edition, if you’re interested in participating you can join our discord server using the link below. Results will be announced before public launch so if you don’t get lucky you can still try the traditional way.

Make sure to first accept the rules in #rules by checking the green checkmark so you can see the full server and comment in the channels.

For two? I find the level of exclusivity of your releases shocking. I've had more pleasant and easier times buying editions from blue chip galleries. The easiest way for you to address this is to increase your edition sizes. Please give it some consideration.

[Georgie Poppit]

I think what Avante Art are doing is great but they’ve got big in print just as people are moving in to NFTs.

I know 🤣 Did you think they realise how condescending that is? ha

Thanks Christian for the info. I appreciate it.

Aht aht aht, NFT's are the trendy thing at the moment, but prints are time tested favorites.

[iamzero]

The exclusivity of releases has almost completely turned me off from collecting lately. It would appear that unless you’re choking on the balls of some galleries then you’re getting nothing. Just adds to the boredom of the scene now.

[Deleted]

I hear they don’t even sell to their original collector base anymore so I really wouldn’t worry. They release 5 prints a day and to stay in favour you have to buy them all.

There truly are people spending 10s of a thousands a month on editions.. 🤯🤯

Get an original canvas on your wall from a strong emerging artist. It’s far more rewarding..

Don't waste your energy. I tried encouraging buying emerging artists and got laughed at.

For many on here, editions > originals.

In my humble opinion, AA put a great deal of effort into selling popular limited edition releases to collectors who will hang the art on their walls and are not in it for a quick (or slow, come to think of it) flip. Of course, this is never infallible. Easy to criticise from the sidelines, less so to get involved and establish communication and a relationship with them. Of course, that can involve purchases too.

If you were running any type of business and had a very sought-after product to sell, would you sell it to someone you didn’t know or to someone who has shown loyalty and who has established dialogue with you?

They are also trying to introduce a handful of new collectors to popular releases too. That takes some vetting.

Come on people.

[grief]

Sooner or later AA will have the biggest database of art collectors on earth.

I’d agree with that but also think original art (as someone mentioned) is far more rewarding. That’s my focus now.

But you're a flipper no? I know in your heart you don't rate LY or Oliver. Come on maaate. Tell the truth and shame the Devil.

Tl;dr. Remember that time Pace Prints came on here with a special Forum deal?
Me neither.

Gratitude.

Appreciate the offer. AA has no need to cater to this Forum to sell high quality works.

I dealt with them in the earliest days and again quite recently.
Always been solid, pleasant and even generous to deal with.

Thank you.

Did you compare AA to pace?

Also what happened about AA and them selling to flippers who sold that Javier release with early COA? Did they clear that one up?

Speaking of over-priced prints/editions 😂

Most definitely. I can definitely agree with that. Its nothing better than be able to say I have this and you cant buy it at any price. lol

You know whats hilarious about this to me. Theres a part of me that feels like galleries overprice their print editions to both profit more from the joint venture as well as deter resellers. 

[kfroms]

I liked some of the early releases of AA but they lost me long ago.

Reading this ( and other AA related ) thread I am really happy about it.

[artzzzy]

Flippers will always complain about high prices and not getting a chance etc because it means less (or no) profit for them.

If you love the artists these are really beautiful prints.
The best released so far for both of them.

They ARE pricey and after tax and shipping there’s really no money to make.
But if it’s for tour own wall, they are both amazing pieces!!
