I had my interview a few days ago. I sent them my insta link and photos of my home.

The art convo was fun considering I don’t have many art-loving friends in my circle here in Charlotte NC. I think the interview went well, but I’ve only bought one small piece from Avant Arte before. Fingers crossed. They said the release is March 20th, so I hope I still have a chance between now and then for a pre-sale selection!!!

Are the interviews phone or video/Zoom?

Trying to figure out if I need to have the Basquiats and Picassos flown in from Geneva ("Ports Francs et Entrepôts de Genève", for those in the know) to hang behind me.

Any guidance much appreciated

I had a call, they just wan know your collection and you are a real collector was pretty easy tbf. I just went for ciggy

[Arty Garfunkle]

They don’t care about your art, they just want to see your winky!

its all a ruse to see willys and boobies.

condo isn’t even doing a print release!

[nobokov]

To help everyone who got a later appointment, I got the answers to the written portion.

Had my call this morning and found Sofiya to be professional, pleasant, and non-invasive. Unfortunately, she was also non-committal on the works.

I received an email today from Sofiya stating the print would drop on March 20th and they will let me know “how the Condo release will work”

If the artwork is original, it should be in front of you and you behind the work. Otherwise put them behind if they are not original. I would advise you to do this to make a good impression.

[Black Wolf]

Portrait and Head looks absolutely phenomenal

[zoomrider]

Would absolutely love one of these but a serious price for a 150 edition print?

Hirst wanna have a word with you. Especially after the yesterday reveal that he sold only 3000 giclee prints for $3.5k. People are raving these will make a killing on the secondary.

I mean I believe they could not sell it for much cheaper if a smaller, B&W etching sell for $16k. I agree it would be a better edition of 75, but 150 still reasonable. It all really depends on how many releases AA does down the line.

Very serious price. 6.5k including VAT / import etc.

Those entering - are you getting their framing or going elsewhere? Anyone previously used AA's framing and is it good quality?

[Sunny Garcia]

If you ever wanted a real Condo, (not a tiny b&w etching of scribbles), this is obviously a no-brainer at 6K. When you look at the price of editions these days, they charge half of that for almost a nobody (in terms of artist)!

Again, IMO these are easily the best Condo editions ever produced.

I have no clue on speculating on what they'll be "worth" as an investment, but that tiny black and white etching from H&W is 16K 😬🥴

[brule]

Ugh, these new pictures aren’t making the impending loss any easier

[cemltz]

I assume the phone interviews are just Angela/Sofiya/etc. running you through the online questions and filling out the form for you?

Isn't it just a gag like Dappy's pdf?

[ignition0]

Even I have now accepted that pre-sales are done!

[rbt]

And then there’s the $10,700 someone paid for these $100 offset unsigned unnumbered prints:

No. It's real. They actually ask to speak with you, to get on their "good list".

I've heard it's Dappy you have to speak to on the phone calls.

Could you name all Picasso's periods and put them in chronological order?
Additional points for stating the years.
