another problem is the sheer size if these. Lots if wall space required and to try to sell them the shipping is going to be a major pain in the arse

However for those of us who are buying to enjoy they will look great I am sure.  I wonder how these would do in a bathroom?  Also which does the forum thinks will sell more camo or the cube?  I can't decide

 Not sure which would sell more but camp is my clear favourite of the two.

That could very well work! Surely the most popular image, and they could sell as many Marilyns as they sell the three other combined

[stuckeyc]

Pawel I felt the same but the more I look at the cube the more I like it's simplicity. Camo just screams invader though. Maybe I just have to buy 3

"HENI Editions work with artists, institutions and estates to produce high quality, limited edition reproductions of artworks."


First I thought WHAT!?! ... but the more I think about this quote from the HENI page it makes sense, and also captures what most users on here think: they're basically saying that what they sell are not artworks but reproductions of artworks! Which I think is spot on because they're just photos of Invader pieces. However, about 4k for a reproduction doesn't seem justified.

[sorry for the bold highlight, its the only one that the page lets me do]

As I read, you are asking yourselves which one will fit well on your walls ( I have two Dibbons from Roa, signed at the back and a bot " glossy " so : they are really nice together : a pig and a rabbit ) .
so I will help you :

1. The more discreet and o with other artworks will be the Roxy Music sleeve ( the most iconic too as this sleeve has been censored and reissud ). I don't like so much Roxy, but I have this lp and like the sleeve. But too much anedoctic.

2. For the fans of Marylin, don't hesitate, took it. I find it a bit " flashy red and yellow " anyway. But Marylin, honnestly !... ( smiley sleeping )

3. The Cube would be a bit cold. maybe you have a white and modern flat, with nothing in, so it's ok. But a bit empty, no soul.

4. I would choose of course the alias, nice colors, and well this is Invader symbol ( with the mix of Rubik and image of An alias, as a kit ).

So for me it would be the 4.
Good night

Isn't every art print anyone buys a reproduction of an original. No difference here.

Hockney’s iPad works don’t exist in any other format. Unless you hang an iPad on the wall.

Not exactly, not necessarily. A serigraph print for example is a screen print which has been specifically designed to be such, not requiring an original to work from. But usually even with a screen print there is an element of design, composition and so fourth and how colours interact/overlap, and this work is often carried out with the participation of the artist. Have you ever considered how spray presents itself in a POW Banksy screen print? If the image was simply shrunk down from a master copy the spray would be far too fine to see.

I agree that Marilyn is the strongest image.
That being said, I have no desire to have a modern artwork depicting Marilyn Monroe on my wall.

[┏( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)┛ EnS]

Would love to see when people realize how truly big is 1m x 1m of print on metal sheet…

[stock]

Let us know, I’m on the fence - really trying to move away from editions, but the size is good for me as I’m looking for larger works…

I really like these and think they'll look good on the wall but 3k is way too expensive.

Like I've said previously only buy if you plan to hang these. There is not profit in them. When Hirst Empresses are going for 1.2 ETH then it's fairly obvious how these are likely to perform.

I was going to buy the Marilyn but on reflection I'll wait to pick up from a desperate flipper for under cost.

Yeah but consider gas fees, 600usd vat for a lot of buyers and shipping. It's close to cost which is approx what the physical are selling for. Issue with empress is they're the shittest and most garish butterfly prints he's done (and that's saying something) and there are 15,000 of them. Even though there are 5 images most people can't tell one from the other so it's essentially an edition of 15,000 pretty crap prints. Im not going to predict where these are going to go but fairly sure you're not going to lose a lot of money if you decide to sell on after a year or two. And the edition sizes won't be anywhere near Empress, possibly could be less than 5,000 sold in total of 4 pretty different images.

Went to see them in the flesh today - here are a few snaps.

Thoughts on them in the flesh?

[salinas31]

I quite liked them … not blown away so still thinking about whether to make a purchase.
personally I think the Marilyn Monroe or the Country life works best -  close up you can see especially on the country life that it is made up with Rubik’s cubes stacked and a little bit uneven.
I need to work out where to hang one as they are quite big unless you have a big gallery space with white walls!
will sleep on it for a day or 2 … but a good day out in London nevertheless! 

[Londown 01]

Thank you, the more photos you can share with us the better

My thoughts exactly, Country Life I think has now become my favourite for that very reason, The way the blocks are stacked in a more uneven manner showing some gaps in between really appealed to me, all subjective of course!

[Blue]

Cheers for the thoughts! Wish I could make it down to see them in the flesh before the buying window shuts…

[dotdot]

fwiw a few words.

the works are for... new invader collectors or old , or both

the work are invader works or works which are an homage to other works

..which idea works for you ?

if you're new you might be tempted by the style in which case you'll see the Roxy and MM

if you're actually in search of inv you'd opt for either of the first two.

Either way ... who is going to fork for a set ? i know you are out there... not many of you.

me ? what does it matter what i do.

one last thought - the striving to reproduce imperfection is a good idea where it shows in the images above.

good luck to those who can see the work/s - and ... no mention of nfts ? fresh air.

It also says in the first paragraph “Both prints and reproductions are copies of some original image, but they are made in quite different ways” Either way it’s the image and the fact it’s an official Invader release you are paying for. You can easily pick up copies for a fraction of the price.
For Clarity I have ordered 2 of the 4.

It’s dibbon. 
Printed on aluminium.
no need a frame
the only problems with a dibbon is to find the good and a strong attach.
as you say it’s heavy.

Banksy won’t as pest control would be ill equipped to verify all the signed stickers /
you can buy the sculptures for £600 pretty sure that they didn’t cost 300 did they 

trouble here is that the images aren’t the best 

I sold my 2 at £900 each - more than happy that is over double original cost price- shame you missed out on them!

I know 
I wake in the early hours and I can’t sleep trying to figure out what went wrong ! 
why did I not purchase 1 of 2 of your invader sculptures for £900 when I had that chance 
mistakes , I’ve made a few

Ah - does it come with that white border frame thing as seen in the photos above?
What’s the difference between hirst aluminums virtues etc prints and these dibons?

Many thanks!!!

These dibons must be heavier because printed on a one meter / one meter.
the white border has been printed on the alu with the rest of the print. 
13,5 kilos wow ! Usually this is quite lighter.
shipping will be heavy too ( and taxes too as they warned the potential buyers about ).
too commercial for me.
im not fan of Heni.
