Respectfully but what makes the Pope an expert on either art or the art market? 

Yea, what makes somebody an expert? Everybody on here seems to be one

[Horatio Nelson]

When more than half the posts in an 8-page thread about the “Archangels” are concerned with pricing/value/resale, with hardly anyone discussing the biblical allusion, perhaps the Pope has a point.

Or, more likely, Pope Francis is just bitter after missing out on another Heni allocation and his salty comments should be ignored.

You are absolutely right and I agree with you.
Someone told him what to say and he said it as expected. His speech sounded like that of someone from the arts sector. I don't quite understand why all the ''leaders'' of the world's religions have not yet started a hunger strike, to loudly ask for world peace.

By now you know very well which toilet paper is used in the bathroom. This behavior of some ''men'' doesn't surprise me.

I haven’t heard the speech, but I should imagine it’s a lament at how art has become a commodity as opposed to a meaningful tool to explore the human condition.

Preach

(I fully understand the irony of posting that statement on UAA 😆)

[Acme Thunderer]

The Pope is just salty that he wasn’t allocated this release and now Damien Hirst is going to hell.

So the pope makes a speech to artists.  Am I the only one who finds that a bit odd?  

[The Italian One]

whoever takes seriously Pope's words lives in a bubble made of hypocrisy .

[Fast Eddie]

I think the Pope is doing his job. But, it is not surprising that he is stepping in: Historically, the Church has been the single most important driver of fine art production in the West. Since about 300 AD, I'd say...

That was certainly true 500 years ago.  But it is certainly not true today.  The current pope has zero influence on art in the present age.

Honestly. Who cares? So embarrassing.

[blurp]

Agreed. Time to move on from Damien Hirst.

Mine arrived yesterday! I really like the depth and colours!

[Martin M]

Turned up today, absolutely love it. The print quality is off the scale good.

[Blue]

Jealous and also happy for those who got one of these... look amazing! Glad Heni finally pulled their finger out for once with production.

[Newar]

The print is textured (spec was giclee print) ? If yes , can i have have some info about de technique used (suppose superposition?)

Be fair.  User name is 'artcollector' so you can be sure this is a legitimate post.  I'm about to PayPal them the £14k, friends and family as requested. We're all friends here...

Exactly what I thought as well. If they were called ‘artdealer’ then I would have been suspicious, but it’s reassuring they are a collector.

[pamplemousse]

Only place for it.

Interesting framing on these; the board that the print is taped to is the 'backboard' and held in place with a subframe.
Guess it makes removing the print easier.

[Acme Thunderer]

TateWard just sneaked an Uriel into their auction. I wonder if this was consigned by TateWard themselves. 😉
