George Condo ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Print For Sale, by Wimbledon 1981 on Feb 9, 2024 15:33:14 GMT 1, Condo is arguably the most visible living artist along with Ruscha, Koons, and Jasper Johns. It seems perfectly reasonable to ensure - as best as one can do - the works go to great homes and collections, where the work will be appreciated - rather than purely speculated on. Of course, it might feel a little funny/absurd to have to do a call to give your money to a business - but, looking at this objectively, it presents as one of the most visible art events available to the public in 2024. If Anna Weyant or Jonas Wood did a show at Gagosian - not anyone with $$$ could buy the work - its vetted deeply, like for all in demand artists.
Ultimately - I think this practice will ensure the work and artist are protected - and perhaps, dare i say it - lived with and enjoyed!

Knowing what artists 1000 collectors with at least 6k in the tank like is probably worth a lot to them.

George Condo ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Print For Sale, by drip on Feb 9, 2024 15:40:35 GMT 1, Personally, I think if you've had to jump through a few hoops, put in some effort to acquire a work of art, if it doesn't come easy, chances are you'll be more likely to keep it. Associating it with a moment in your life where you really had to work at something, perhaps jerking off over Skype while reciting your top twelve favourite Condos, that sort of thing.

Gagosian released a three print set (Matisse pots) by Jonas Wood five years back, and they all went to clients of theirs. The edition was a third of what these are (50 each for 150 total), but very few (if any) were flipped immediately. Price was also double what these are selling for (35K USD to 18K USD for the set).
Wood - 1.75M (print sale gross)
Condo - 3M (print sale gross)
Should AA have dropped the edition size and upped the price? Is EVERYONE just being greedy here?
Also, who's bigger: Condo or Wood?

Hard to say who, but Jonas released much more editions than George. That might change now.

Even though I think the new Condo prints are really special, theyโre basically a replacement for those of us who could never dream of buying an original. For instance, I love this series of JW prints. They were obviously never conceived as paintings and then translated to prints.

Jonas released some average prints and a couple of bad ones, but to say only a few are very good ones is an overstatement imho. He released 2 150+ page catalogs, so really plenty to choose from.

Also to reply to some earlier posts, although you will always get a few muppets flipping, most don't. As much as I love this forum please stop thinking everyone who gains a new release is flipping. It's just not true, again a sample of 10 max is not why 450 have or will be sold.
I also wish collectors saw the longevity in pieces a bit more. For instance bought some banksys for ยฃ50 - ยฃ100 at the outset and look where they are now. Just hold, enjoy and then down the line if you like what is happening to the value , then sell.

Seriously, the Matisse pots, this massive interior kitchen, and what else? His clippings and basketball orchids are โokโ.
I did like the flower pots you referenced with the mountains in the pot, but I donโt think theyโre amazing, and look to be more on par with Condoโs past edition releases.
I guess what Iโm trying to say (and to bring the conversation back to GC) is that these prints are really up there in quality and image selection!

I understand your reasoning and it must be nice, being able to buy works by your favorite artist, at the beginning and at very low prices.
There will always be someone who will sell something.
But many will keep what they like on the wall.

Why don't you sell your Da Vinci works and buy all the Banksy ones in circulation? That would be crazy!
Imagine if in the past, someone had done the same with Da Vinci's works! Today there would be the largest and most immense collection of that Artist around.
Obviously don't buy the posters!... Leave those to us mere mortals! ๐
