By any traditional standard these editions are ridiculously large.
But since we live in hype based, advertisement driven consumer societies, it's also not surprising. These prints are the BILLY bookcases of art history.

I reckon that Avant Arte makes great job ( quality, logistic, shipping, gloves  etc.. but maybe that it's more about services and packaging than the artwork itself.
This Spam was a great idea ( they even post on Insta the history of this Spam ) , but we think ( as for OTI, Heni, etc ) that we buy the brand ( and the name of the artist ) , rather than the artwork itself. I don't know really. Signed and no Lacma brand would has been better. Who paid all this ? Is Lacma a sponsor ?

huge edition, huge prices.. I donโt know why respectful artists choose to work with such. These days everyone and everything seems to be about money. There is no passion anymore.

I suspect it's because it's linked to an exhibition in the states. People probably attend the museum and decide to buy the print because of the exhibition. $500 isn't much these days, particularly when you are talking about top-rate artists. |

Where are the huge prices?
Should the money be in the hands of the artist/those they work with, or the collectors who sell the works on down the road?
Is passion about creating opportunities for a large number fans to collect a work having the artist's imprimatur, or is passion about inducing scarcity to drive up demand and prices?

I hate the F5 days, never had a bot. How many times have I sat by a computer only to have the item gone before I could check out. All the people who wanted one and could afford it got it EXCEPT me who has a wife that said, "No way are you putting that up in our house!"

I told the truth : Ihave said that I was to buy the print, until they changed their mind and put shipping+taxes for all worldwide at the same price ( 100 euros ) , if not I would have to pay only taxes ( as they ship from NL )... In a question they reckon that it could be the big edition that could stop us...
I told them that i like them too!

Love Ruscha, traveled to MoMA to see the show.
My feedback to AA survey as to why I did not buy:
It becomes a poster when LACMA text is placed on the front of the print: the art is negatively impacted so that LACMA can be promoted. Further, it's an unsigned poster.
Here was my primary issue:
Actual Size, the original painting by Ruscha, is showing the relative size of the product vs. the much, much larger billboarding of SPAM. The message: we are being sold, over-promised, hoodwinked.
The LACMA print is smaller than the original painting. Of course, the rationale for making the print smaller is to make it more palatable, it will fit on more buyers' walls. The irony is massive, are we being hoodwinked again as Actual Size is misrepresented?

Fact is they got this one wrong in every way. Maybe apart from the paper weight which was acceptable.

Sounds like they sold a lot less than they planned/hoped to. Fact is they got this one wrong in every way. Maybe apart from the paper weight which was acceptable. They sold nearly 2,000. That's hardly a small amount. I'm guessing that they are perfectly happy with that amount. The Anish Kapoor sold less than a third of that. |

I agree 2000 is no small amount but whoโs to say they werenโt expecting to sell 5000+?
They didnโt make a million euros on these.
After production costs 50% would go to the artist and a percentage to LACMA. Was delivery also included in that price? Packaging? Didnโt the price include vat?

I didn't want to state the obvious, but yes as a gross sales figure. As a comparison the AI weiwei release, were 3 signed limited editions, which were unique works and that required artistic input and signatures from the artist. These went for less then half of the above gross value. Apples and pears, but I would say they did pretty well getting 2k sales out of this. |

I haven't opened the record I bought. Not sure why art credit isn't listed on the back, but as was said, it might be inside. Also easily verifiable online. The nice thing about the way the cover is done is that it doesn't say The Beatles on the front, so at least if you don't like them much, its just an Ed Ruscha image ๐ www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-final-beatles-song-feature-original-cover-art-ruscha |
