Sales invoice states:

"The work is signed and numbered by the Artist on the front"

great piece

So it’s double signed?

I suspect the marketing image is the OG so the edition will be signed in the same area but also numbered

[Adam The Collector]

This is a great image?

Great piece but I wasn't expecting a 6.5K price tag, especially considering it's rather small size.

It is a great piece.  GLWS!

[Georgie Poppit]

I wonder how visible the screen dots will be in the final image

[Fuzzyduck121]

Its certainly one for the collectors not the flippers but I am happy to pay that price

its in line with current results however the last print sold at $17,500 this week I believe

Can someone explain why the Interscope records Lady Gaga/Loie print which is an edition of 100, signed, and 12.5x12.5 inches at $2500 has just been sitting? Is it because it's affixed to a record? Genuinely curious what her collectors think of that vs the standalone print.

[teabaggins]

Great print from a really strong body of work with the Brain paintings.

[Fuzzyduck121]

same reason loads of those editions are sat and are cheaper.

stuck to a record, digital prints with a bad launch

Do you have a link?

V Pricey, no meat s/m term. Her results seemed to have steadied too.

Not on good originals, last one was $819k

[Poster Bob]

Ah OK. I had initially thought that it was an auction for the Migrate Art release as it was the most recent one.

Horribly visible if it looks like that.
Silkscreen probably not the right technique for those gradients, and that small.

[rbt]

The text on the sides ruins this and only works for the original.

[Deleted]

So there is Yellow Brain on wood with epoxy resin, a pastel and graphite version on paper with annotations and then a print of the paper version? Is that correct? It looks like a Christo design concept poster.

[orchid]

Not a fan of the printed text and dots either. Think it will look cheap and awful up close. If it was at the $2000 USD of their (artspace) recent editions , ok, not 6500 excluding shipping and taxes. Would take a few Party and Nara prints at launch price over this.

It's the kind of image you wouldn't pay $150 for if it was an original made by Joe blow.

Where are the close up images coming from?

Have to agree that the pixelation issues seem to indicate that the best process hasn’t been used here if those are of the actual work but I haven’t seen anything yet to indicate images of the print itself have been circulated

Dear X,

It is my true pleasure to share an advanced preview of the upcoming limited edition embossed silkscreen print by contemporary painter Loie Hollowell, entitled Yellow Brain. Featured in Phaidon’s landmark contemporary art survey Prime, Hollowell is regarded as one of the most influential and fast-rising painters working today.

Loie Hollowell

Yellow Brain, 2022

Embossed Silkscreen on Somerset 300gsm

Edition of 50 + 5 APs, and 1 Printer’s Proof

16 x 11.7 inches (40.64 x 29.72 cm)

$6,500 USD

[Love Is In The Air]

I'm not sure exactly what the finished print will look like, I find the images they send are never quite the same as the one people get in hand. I would hope it is a bit brighter than the stock image. A silkscreen print is better medium than some kind of digital print for me anyway. I agree the writing around the edging is not ideal and also agree that doubling the size print for a bit more money would appeal more.

With some of these releases it seems you have a day or two(or an hour or two) to weigh up and take a chance if you want them. I must admit I am pretty uneducated about this artist but it is a signed edition of a print that in terms of size seems priced about right. The Red Earth release by Migrate Art in November was £5.5k and looks a nicer print to my eyes but it sold out and my guessing is this one does too as Hollowell does not have dozens of prints freely available.

Comments like "would take a few Party and Nara prints at launch price over this" are not really relevant. If everyone on the forum could all buy a few Naras at launch price they would be happier and there might be less negativity for at least 24 hours ; )

But you could say that about anything.  Would you pay $150 for a print of a girl with a balloon if it wasn't by Banksy?  I wouldn't.

I try not to chase autographs anymore if the image isn't any good. There are only a few people that would buy this print on the secondary market and it's definitely less than 50. Buy this and you're stuck with a $6500 hole in your pocket and will have to compete with 49 "galleries" undercutting each other to try get whole again.

There are so many artists, why anyone would pay that much for a print is baffling.

A lovely print in-person. MatchesFashion employees did not know if any were still available. They had a very large event at the townhouse, in the upper east side, last night for Frieze New York. It can be seen in-person until Sunday; as well as other Artspace prints. 154 East 71st.

Anyone got it already?

[john1539]

Yes, the edition is not sold out. It was predictable, not a great edition...
