swoon a/p possibly for sale/swap, by classy on Jul 21, 2008 20:36:37 GMT 1, My friend who is not a forum member won this lovely swoon a/p in a recent charity auction in NYC and is thinking about selling or swapping it.
I'm not sure what he would take for it, but it is one of the nicest swoon works I have seen anywhere - the colors are fantastic in person. I would buy it myself if I weren't knee deep in credit card bills.
Please PM any offers.

swoon a/p possibly for sale/swap, by classy on Jul 21, 2008 21:24:57 GMT 1, In response to some questions I have gotten by PM, I wanted to let everyone know that there is only one AP of this image that I know of, and that it has never been released as an edition. This is a hand-pulled screenprint that Swoon pulled herself of an image she installed near the gallery. It is printed on craft paper and has the justification marks and is signed of course.

I will mention this to him and it will be arranged I'm sure.
I believe the proceeds were split between Swoon and the gallery. And this all presupposes that a sale takes place of course. Cheers.

I guess you should have bid more...or stayed until the end? Sometimes people change their minds and things get sold, he's a good guy. Let's not forget that the money went to charity/swoon and that your bid would have raised less money.

swoon a/p possibly for sale/swap, by Carnage NYC on Jul 22, 2008 20:51:33 GMT 1, my point is that i don't mind getting outbid by someone who is a collector who will give that piece a good home, but instead i find it for sale on the banksy board a few days later. your friend has every right to do that, but it's still kinda sad. sign of the times i guess.

swoon a/p possibly for sale/swap, by thomyorke on Jul 24, 2008 4:26:36 GMT 1, Seriously, everyone on this forum peddles art. You are so righteous sabeth. Have you ever sold anything before for a profit? What is the difference between you and this dudes friend? Pot calling the kettle black? Why do people feel the need to blue ball ever trade or sale on this forum? Can you explain what exactly is wrong with someone purchasing something and then taking offers on it? What difference does it make. Let it be.

swoon a/p possibly for sale/swap, by ricosg11 on Jul 24, 2008 13:30:09 GMT 1, 1. it was a benefit auction
2. it was a benefit auction
3. it was a benefit auction
4. the gallery did a month long show with nothing for sale for Swoon prior to this, and they were trying to recoup some money.
5. We (people who collect Swoon) are passionate about her work getting in the hands of people who actually give a shit. So yea, its pretty disappointing to see it for sale a day after he bought it.
Correct me if I am wrong Sabeth, but that is your point?...

We (people who collect Swoon) are passionate about her work getting in the hands of people who actually give a s**t. So yea, its pretty disappointing to see it for sale a day after he bought it. /quote] I am still unclear as to why you feel that you speak for all people collecting swoon. I have been collecting her work for a very long time and I am currently trying to negotiate with Mr classy to sell the piece he posted to me. Seems like all your comments scared the seller from selling. So good job with that. If you guys wanted it so bad, go there and spend the money to get it. Unless you are independently wealthy and unemployed, I would not waste your time trying to get art in the hands of people that meet your rigorous test of being passionate or not. Good day

swoon a/p possibly for sale/swap, by ricosg11 on Jul 24, 2008 15:59:50 GMT 1, see to me its not a waste of time. I would do everything in my power to protect her work. Thats what collectors do.
just wait for the paper monster release. You will probably pick it up far cheaper and you will be directly supporting Swoon and her publisher. Again, what I think would be more of a priority for a collector.
