Awesome!

That's great news..I always thought "All The World’s A Stage; Sometimes With Scenery" was one of the strongest pieces from the show, it's second to Deathstar for me...Thanks for the heads up!

They're all small editions though.

[manchestermike]

More prints!

Think I'll pass on these ones...

[patrese]

i love them but i can't see myself buying any more prints ever. they just look so inferior to an original work.

[arcam]

Unfortunately though the originals cost a tad more.

[Deleted]

patrese, i keep telling myself the same thing, but yet my print stack gets bigger and bigger. i think prints are a good way to get an image if you miss out on the original. i'm definitely more picky this year.

[mcnuts]

great stuff but still dont have the IF bug, especially the IF print bug.

i'm not talking IF originals - i mean any original. for example i have 6 IF prints from blk mkt and i also bought an original canvas by rich T for the same price as one print - the original looks a million times better than any of the prints, and i say that even with IF as my fav artist.

[Cocteau 101]

Another awesome set of Francis prints - he just gets stronger and stronger. 2008 will be a big year.

What's the quality of the IF giclee's like?

And the way they ship them! Flat and between amazingly thick cardboard. Amazing service

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

quality is 9.9 out of 10 - packaging is 10/10 - i've never seen nicer quality prints from anyone -

[Dellboyy]

I've never seen a better quality print than the blk/mrkt Francis prints, and as has been said, i think it would be virtually impossible for it to be damaged in transit!

[Rourke]

Brilliant ;D cheers

umm... you can say what YOU think, but Blk Mrkt is on it's 10th year, and has surpassed their 15 minutes of fame, several times over. so when your 15 minutes of name calling ends, check them out.

and, shouldn't the artist be called names and have the same money "GRUBBIN'" accusations bestowed upon them?

[Gentle Mental]

er... don't buy it if you no likey... no one's forcing you...

if only Banksy has every image of his LA show as prints....

or Micallef...

They would take about 30 years to release though mate

How much were the originals at the show?

[quicksnap]

i really want the piano one, i just don't think i can drop the coin right now. bummer too, cause it will be even more expensive later.

[rurualhick]

YEAH YOU CAN BUY OR NOT BUY BUT WHEN THEY RELEASE THE ORIGINAL 4 PEOPLE THINK THAT THAT IS IT. THERE IS A CERTAIN PRICE TO ONLY 4 PRINTS FROM THE SHOW. THEN THEY RELEASE another 4 AT A HIGHER EDITION DRIVING VALUE DOWN OVERALL. NOW ANOTHER FOOKN' 4. SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT ITS AN a*sShole MOVE. tHEY see how easy it is to make $140K so WHO cares about integrity and preserving the value of the initial buyers. ARSEHOLES.

[Dellboyy]

I think they've done really well to keep the edition size and price down, consider with the latest release thats still only 500 prints (from 12 images!) in total from blk/mrkt. Compare to Banksy, and even the early releases when he wasn't selling out were not this low.

Also, in my opinion the blk/mrkt prints are some of the best quality i've seen, so to keep the price at £350ish is also pretty good!

Sounds like you bought the first 4 on the secondary market expecting them to skyrocket in price later, only to find out, like most artists he released more then just 4 prints.
I don't think anyone assumed that only 4 prints were going to be released, in fact after they released the second 4 I assumed they would be releasing a set of prints for every piece at the show.
This is a great move considering they show sold out before the preview night, it gives everyone a chance a owning a great piece of art.
