Ian Francis Prints on eBay, by Richard on Aug 13, 2009 20:04:10 GMT 1, Anyone tempted by the cheap as chips print on the bay?
These seem a real bargain  - I know people say his works don't translate as well to prints from canvas as other artists...but as someone with an original and prints - I think the quality is fantastic.
Be interesting to know why so many are going unsold...
Any thoughts?

Ian Francis Prints on eBay, by Dellboyy on Aug 13, 2009 22:20:44 GMT 1, Yeah i think these hit back when people seemed to be buying like crazy in the hope everything turned to gold, then of course they released more prints which kinda put people off and spoilt their plans!
Only reason i've not snapped more off ebay recently is i've two of his prints on my walls already, and a third under my bed i've not got room for! Every Francis print i've seen has been top quality!

Ian Francis Prints on eBay, by leumasdarnley on Aug 14, 2009 2:04:47 GMT 1, I agree with dellboy so many prints came out of his US solo show after many were under the impression they bought into an exclusive set with the 1st 4. Then shipping flat and the freight charges which they did resolve but not after the the buzz was over. I will agree that every print I have or have seen is amazing quality.

Ian Francis Prints on eBay, by craigf on Aug 14, 2009 7:09:04 GMT 1, I've two Francis prints on the wall, imho they are beautifully done and if I had more space I would buy a couple more. I also think we did go from only a few being available to not quite a flood, but more than doubling of the numbers. I think this has hurt Francis and others (Micallef and possibly Neate)

Ian Francis Prints on eBay, by Richard on Aug 14, 2009 12:10:13 GMT 1, If I didn't have 2 prints already I would be going after more at these prices...ยฃ200-ยฃ300 seems a steal for something that looks so good on the wall...
