Calleja was stamped, not signed.

Interesting. Pass for me if not signed.

[Christian Avant Arte]

To lower all expectations this timed released will be stamped not signed like how we did it with Tom Sachs, Nina Chanel, Ayako Rokkaku and Calleja. Doing a high quality signed timed release for an affordable price with an artist who his works (especially the early 60's works) are selling for 20 million + on auctions , who is 86 and having a retrospective in the Lacma and Moma is unfortunately a bit unrealistic.

With every artist we have different ways of doing it with Condo it was more limited and expensive and with Ed Ruscha we are trying to open it up a lot more. As said buy it if you love it, but this is definitely for us something that we couldn't be more proud of it the biggest artist we have worked with and also one of the more important pieces in art history that we will edition as a fundraiser with an incredible institution. We will share more information soon!

i like it, will definitely buy one

it is nice to have AA write directly on the forum

Not signed will definitely put off a lot of people who were planning buying, stamped should drop the price considerably to well under 1000 and open up to more people.

Thanks Christian Avant Arte always great communication before UAA fomo / rip / train starts

[Georgie Poppit]

Says a lot about Avant Arte that they consider this art forum so important they post on here. A forum where art comes second to flipping and profit. It goes some way to explaining why they selected people on here with no real collections to speak of for the Condo editions.

Great to get clear information direct from AA, so hats off for that. Whether you like what they say or not. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Stops a lot of unnecessary speculation.

It makes sense that a timed edition by a blue chip artist cannot be signed AND be affordable. I’ve not gone for any timed releases in the past but I like this one and probably will. I have quite a few limited editions by AA and I think it’s great that they mix it up and offer various formats / editions.

Yes really good !! There will always be haters who don't like anything but here there are many collectors who appreciate it a lot.

I also "me gusta mucho" and if the price is really about 500 euros I certainly buy one too.

No one complains about unsigned Banksy prints….

[ignition0]

Anyone know what the release date is?

I’m curious about this other art forum where nobody discusses profit. Sounds like a nice board, please share the link.

I’ve always been here for the art, and I’ve always liked this image. I used a postcard of it decades ago as a mixtape cover. I will buy and hang, here’s a pic of it from the MOMA show, which was great.

[Arty Farty 15]

Kudos to AA for the transparency and engagement with the forum.

My next question is what does everyone on the forum plan doing with the £700 they’ve saved, now they’ve found out it’s not signed?

Personally I think it’s a great image. Especially if you understand the context. If the edition is $500 and signed this is a must buy for any fans of Ed’s work.

Hand signed?  For $500?  What planet are you on?

Is this a timed or open edition? If it's for LACMA it would make sense to sell as an open edition and have it available in the museum shop. It feels a bit like a higher quality version of Jonas Wood's Voorlinden poster which frames well.

I don't understand why anyone would buy an unsigned print unless it's a really inexpensive one. They have unsigned screenprints at Tate for 100 pounds, so anything above that seems like price gouging.

Can't trust LACMA's timed editions though. They've sold timed-edition Nara merch for years now even though the product descriptions said the following, "Time-Limited Edition – Exclusively available during the Nara retrospective."

Don't mind the image, a bit over the timed & open editions though. Lets see how many $£€.

[The Italian One]

my guess 650 eu

Just took a look at the Rokkaku timed edition. Sold just over 3500 editions for similar price point. I guess gives an indication of likely sales for Ruscha, if not more?

Rokkaku was signed.
