I think the affordability of the print does make this a great release. seems like a lot more interest than the last release.

[raiden]

Pay $500?!? Is it worth it? I'll be honest, I may flip this one so I can afford the print since I'm jobless at the moment.

[bunnyboy]

Agree that it would be nice to see some more images from the book. I'd be interested to see Faile's contribution - 4 hand-finished pages from them would be very nice..

I think it's a great choice for this kind of print and a very nice price really, especially for the size. It's bold, large and graphic, reminiscent of Jasper Johns, would look great on a wall

Agree 100%

I would think there will be more US than UK buyers on this one though.

[lalinea]

Not feeling the print........

The book is sick though!!!

[achtungbono]

had this in the basket 3x so far

decided its not for me

As above, the US market will love this

[otomi]

a faile book with an edition of 80, signed and full of originals - will be awesome

[rosstierney]

it seems i was right, they've updated the page to say there are actually 122 pages...

[eyectopus]

From reading what Faile say about the book, I think the artists produced the pages and then reproduced them themselves and sent the pages for the 80 books to Faile. Faile then put the book together. I'd say there will be screenprints and handfinishing but can't see many originals pages. I hope I'm wrong though.

[eyectopus]

I wonder if that is an actual signature on the Supine?

Think there will be a lot of us buyers for the print, but cant see anybody from outwith the US buying it other than to sell on.

i'm outside the states and i'm not planning to sell on...................yet.

[motor]

UK here and love it.
Very surprised (positive way) about the choice of the print and even more about the price tag.
Not that good with the art history as some of you here but sure Jasper Johns was the first name which sprung into my mind when I saw this one for the first time. Beautiful lines and great take on the American flag. The Native American reference works very well here and the execution is perfect too.

Book - always love this idea of hand built books. Especially when you look at all the contributing artists. Apart from the obvious ones I would like to mention - Keiichi Tanaami - superb stuff.

[melmoth]

Looks like they've put one of the Bast contributions up

[Gentle Mental]

it's a rather small book of prints....

[achtungbono]

the BIN one went for GBP 400

he may have made 80 quid or so net?

easy 80 quid I suppose

[raiden]

Okay, I'm hyperventilating less about the book choice given that now after I've bought it, I discover it is actually 122 pages, includes what looks to be a hand signed Judith Supine and Anthony Lister:

Other pictures I found of its contents....





Sounds like most artists were given 4 pages to go nuts with.

Seems to be a green motif.

Still a bit scared that I paid $500 for a book.

[moleman]

or some one getting address etc for paper monster

[otomi]

anyone seen the swoon or paul insect?

[boatboy]

That other one on ebay is doing rather well. hmmmm.

[otomi]

more details in the comments section at pm

mostly silkscreened by the artist and many artist signed their pages

Wow, there's a lot of negativity for this print. I personally think it's a great image and one that has 'classic' written all over it. I wish i'd seen the original I bet it has huge impact.

I agree a great image...really like this one and is it nearly a meter in length...!!?

[kronoopus]

FUTURA is in the book!? Not much of his stuff around.
