Time will tell but that price doesn't seem unreasonable does it? maybe just talking up my own book

Took a while to hang, made worse from the first effort was to low, so start again moment happened! Anyhow really love this print, very impressive in the flesh.

Nice setting and always nice to see a Margo up there too!

Quality framing on these 7500USD posters.

Yes, I noticed this as well yesterday when I went to have a look at the pieces on offer at the next Tateward auction, they make no reference to this in the condition report on their website, in fact, they say;

"Condition Report

In very good condition
No knocks, chips or cracks to the panel
Framed to a high standard by the Publisher, float mounted leaving all edges and corners of the sheet visible
This work has not been examined outside of the frame."

It just goes to show, you really need to go and have a look at pre-auction viewings if at all possible, as they only use 'stock' images in their online catalogue.

Oh wow, what a disaster. 

Must be scary for any owner: if this can happen now it can happen in 2 years, 5 years etc. even if you handle it with care. But how long will HENI exchange/ repair these?!

Also scary for any potential new owner, especially if they are unaware that it will need to be de-framed and re-attached, I doubt Heni would do that for free for a secondary owner.

Heni comes across as a bit of a factory. There were problems with screwed up currency prints too. Maybe they should take some lessons from Avant Arte!

Indeed they should!

It's not great, especially if 'Heni' are handling the new 'Invader' release?

That’s comforting to hear, I just worry about the other 0.1% chance 🤣🤣

Great to see heni going above and beyond to rectify the situation. A lot is said with regards their output and business model, but they exceeded expectations here.

I certainly don’t think Heni went “above and beyond” or “exceeded expectations”.

They completely screwed up and this was an embarrassment for the quality of their framing so had to sort it out otherwise one of their prints would suffer in auction (especially as the first to be flipped).

The owner/flipper should have pulled it from the auction as soon as it was spotted as I’m sure their final sale price will now be affected.

Let’s see if Heni go around a collectors houses in person if one slips again as chances are this won’t happen just the once.

[Thank You]

One in 400 had issues so far. Calm down.

[Arty]

As I see how the postal service handle a lot of packages, it's a miracle just one of them is damaged. That said, Never had problems with Heni deliveries so far.

[LJCal]

Jesus, some tabs came loose in transit, unless you duct tape it or glue it, it happens. Anyone would think it had been smeared with dog shit.

Surprised it only went for 8.5k hammer at Tateward... was expecting one of these to go for a bit more ...

I'm not surprised at all, what is surprising is putting in a lower tier auction house in June, in a shite market 10 mins after taking delivery. May was well have taken it to a car boot sale.

I said the seller should have pulled it due to the bodged framing as it put off potential buyers. They’ve now lost money on this with sellers fees.

Fair point. I just know a number of people who wanted one of these and didnt get on release, and the blossoms are a tried and tested favourite of the punters.

I have to say they are nice but against the currency unique prints I’d have to go with the currency unique print route and cheaper. Just my opinion

Agreed, saw them both next to each other at the Tateward preview, the Archangel was pretty underwhelming tbh, the Currency Unique Print had much more presence, I don't own either, so purely my subjective opinion.

[orchid]

Surprised heni bothered to come out for someone flipping it 10 minutes after receiving it. I suppose the staffer had a chance to note the edition number if it wasn't on the listing.
