Not a real fan of Giclee prints, although I like the piece.

[fastrack]

would you like it more if it was a screen print?

and then you put it behind glass......

[Guest]

there is a big difference between the 2

[fastrack]

there is also a lot of uneccessary snobbery, but thats a whole other thread that has been done to death.

if you didn't buy a piece you liked, purely because it was a giclee, then more fool you.

Agreed
My favourite prints in my collection are giclees

I wasn't too impressed with Falling for Grace (print quality). I'm waiting to hear what this one is like in person before pulling the trigger.

I like the hands on approach to a print as apposed to a computer print out. I'd also like a photograph hand printed instead of a computer print. Sorry I like people to be involved with what I'm buying. Besides, who said I was buying one anyway?

I bought this print if you bothered reading the thread. was just stating that there are differences between the 2. fool

easy there Ron. are you discussing the difference between giclees and screenprints or between FFG and the Silent Dance?

no-one said you were buying one. its just a discussion.

its just a shame when people outright turn their noses up at giclees, for whatever artistic reason, but that is not what I am suggesting you are doing.

[Guest]

some people prefer screen prints compared to giclees, simple as that. wouldnt describe them as fools. Personal preference.

[robotoil]

Giclees vs Screenprints. Yeah, I've heard this discussion before too. The old Ryden gliclees were amazing. Choe may not be your favorite artist...I wonder how many people here with gliclee bias would stop buying Banksy if POW started using gliclee instead of screen print. Answer: zero.

I like both! Nothing like being diplomatic on a Sunday night

[Guest]

fair point, some images will work better in one medium than the other.

[Heavyconsumer]

There looks to be a lot of fine detail and subtle colours in this piece and I guess a silkscreen print may have looked like a very labour-intensive job.

Ron - the words 'more fool you' were being used as a turn of phrase and not intended as a derogatory term.

[Guest]

cool

[fastrack]

Thanks for clearing that up ALB, before it got really tiresome.
