They really stepup the price with this new kind of release ... it's 3800 without tax (so 4560e in France)
The first release looks a good deal for a handfinish after this one

Yeah JR is skyrocketing since the Louve litho... He is also releasing a new book 'Artist until a find a real job' which is numbered so expect that to be expensive as well.

The price will be 125 euros

His recent hand pasted Giza Print was 2400€ iirc so price has def gone up for this one



Sold out on the day, looks fab and seems a good price for the print / hand finish / text / framing combo

If this was guess the artist, JR wouldn't have made my list.

JR is occasionally prone to releasing this kind of insipid, rather mawkish imagery.

Unfortunate, in my view, as if aiming for mass-market appeal. In other words, lowest common denominator. And suitable for high street galleries or Athena-style poster shops.



Icy and Sot previously also indulged in soppiness, especially with their frequent, clichéd use of children as subject matters.

But their more recent work has been of greater interest — significantly stronger and more mature (in particular, their conceptually-simple sculptures and installations).



In this instance with Les Enfants d'Ouranos, Lune, I'd say the naff artistic sensibility is closer to that of John Doe.

Yea, actually the book is 4kg and 1,400 pages, so although its always a lot to put in a book, 125€ seems pretty reasonable and aligned with JR's catalogues usual pricing I think.

Yes, this one was insanely cool!
