good heads up mate, like it...

[Daniel Silk]

Does nothing for me Not really found any of Choe's work that takes ma fancy so far.

[arcam]

Best Choe print since City Girl imo. Love it.

I think $350 is a far price as well for an edition of 150.

Thanks, love that $hit!

[Heavyconsumer]

I'm not disagreeing, as I feel most prints by most artists are selling for too much at the moment. However, it's worth baring in mind that this price actualkly represents a very significant price DROP from Choe and OES. How many other galleries/artists are doing that at the moment, when probably they ALL should be in this economic climate...??

[origo]

I don´t know, looks like the girl is having the worst day of her life.

Bad hair and a rash, I feel sorry for her.

[artyfarty]

I really like it and good to see a sensible pricing policy

[Existencil]

Eurghhhh! What has happened to that boy??

[bmjt]

Oh god, that is rank, yeah i'd love some ugly creature on my wall....

[Existencil]

Has David Choe made a concious decision to be shit, or has it happened by accident?

I don't get it...how do they get $350 for a electronic print..? That's $525,000 for getting somebody to take a photo with a nice camera and pressing the print button...I obviously don't understand the process cos it cant be that easy to print money.....is it..?

[arcam]

From what I've read a Giclee costs more to produce than a screen print.

[Existencil]

How?

[anthoz]

From Wikipedia

"Artists tend to use these types of inkjet printing processes commonly called "Giclée" to make reproductions of their original two-dimensional artwork, photographs or computer generated art. Professionally produced inkjet prints are much more expensive on a “per print” basis than the traditional four color offset lithography process originally used to make such reproductions (a large format inkjet can cost more than $50 a print, not including scanning and color correction, as opposed to $5 a print for a four-color offset litho of the same image printed in a run of 1000). "

Can I just confirm that Lithography is indeed screen printing? I ask as wikimedia dos'nt think so. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithography) And I also think that it needs to be clarifyed that if you were to screen print a print in excess of 4 colours, would it then cost more than the digital print alternative?
The above print is in excess of 4 colours...

Whats my point..? I dont see the work that is required to produce a good screen print required for a giclee print. Other than keyboard skills using control P I cant see the value or skill in a giclee...Just my opinion and I could be way off the mark...im happy to be shown other wise..

[woodsman]

Remarkably this is pretty much the only Choe I like - reminds me a little of Anthony Lister? Whom I have only just started to appreciate....

Also Giclée is pronounced zhee-clay.......very odd

completely agree, never been a fan of computer prints (using a french word for it doesn't help imo)
I wonder if I took a picture of a really really stunning artwork like Rembrant's Night Watch, then ran some copies off on my epson i could get £150 a pop?
... can't see why not... the rembrant is a world renowned masterpiece, and if a computer print of this image is worth what they are charging, I should imagine a computer print of a Rembrant should be worth a few quid

I take it neither of you have any Giclees from Outer Edge Studio? These are top quality.

Think I have taken this thread off topic. This wasn't meant to be a dig at any individual studio. For that I apologise. I have started a new thread.

[dill]

I am not having a dig at anyone... particularly a studio I haven't yet heard of!
I am just saying I still cant get my head around computer prints of artworks... the debate has gone on about this, and most people seem to disagree with me, but a computer print in my mind is more a photo of some art.
purely a personal perspective

[dill]

I will now google outer edge studios!

[dill]

I have done so! and here is the link
www.outeredgestudio.com/

I would have to concede on this... yes they are good quality.... they must have a very expensive scanner and inkjet

[Toykio]

lovely, this will be the 1st choe in my collection!

In addition to suggesting you investigate how much more goes into creating a giclee, particularly by Andrew Jackson at Outer Edge Studios, than just simply "Taking a photo with a nice camera and pressing the print button', you might want to brush up on your maths too.

Your right my maths is shocking...that should read 52,500 soss
