Yeah, I bought it for my wife for Christmas. She loved it.

[Matt-lock]

that's pretty stunning...I might have to go pick up one of those

[stereoface]

Yea, I think that regardless of whether I get the Francis prints, I will pick one up.

[Gallery My Arse]

Wait until they hit ebay. You can pickup all of the last set for £350.00 each print - the same as they were sold for and there's no tax to pay or sitting by the PC!

[dave313perry]

Its a Ben Tour if i remember right, abit too femanine for me and have a thing with Giclee prints so not for me! but i know what you mean, it is rather interesting

[blackjonny]

I bought the entire set of 4 prints from his last release on ebay for £50.00 less than the original BLK\MRKT price and there's still plenty on their now.

[stuey09]

You're right Dave it is Ben Tour.

Stef posted a good link to his work on Wall. Here's the link

NEWS ALERT! GALLERIES WORK WITH THEIR CLIENTS TO OBTAIN WORKS OF ART AND HELP THEM BUILD/INCREASE THEIR VALUE. OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CASE HERE BECAUSE THE MONEY IS TOO EASY FOR THEM TO MAINTAIN THIS ASSUMED RELATIONSHIP...

Get a grip, that's not what galleries do at all. An artist's gallery works to build the reputation of the artist and not protect the value of a buyers investment. If the reputation grows so does the value but that's a side effect and takes a long time.

If you want investment stay in the secondary market, do your due diligence, and stick to artists with a secondary market track record. A good rule of thumb for widows and orphans is never buy an artist with a track record of less than ten years. Oh, and stay away from prints unless the artist is very well and widely known.

The aginghippie is a wise hippie.

I've posted this before but, here again is my Ben Tour piece -

[stereoface]

How has Francis been holding up in the 2dary market? Can you really get his pieces for $350 each? Id so I would consider looking for some of those as opposed to the $700.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

you cannot to my knowledge, get a Francis print for $350 (not the BM editions) - 350 pound sales have happened on ebay here and there.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

a good youtube vid of Ben Tour's show here in Vermont - his wall painting was sick!

[Matt-lock]

Not yet for $350 but 350gbp then yes occasionally. BUT there is one closing in 3hrs that might be a steal...

Up to this point the majority of the people that have listed the IF prints on the bay have put huge BINS on their prices and they very rarely sell. However, there are quite a few listed at the moment auction style so it might be a good opportunity to find a few deals.

[leumasdarnley]

Ben Tour is the man here are some originals for sale pretty cheap at his new show.

I will post mine here in a bit.

Yes, I just saw that and am bidding on it. That was the print that first sparked my interst in Francis thanks to the Forum here.

[artyfarty]

I bought 2 of the last 50 editions at £300 per print and I know someone who got one at £250. The first editions at 25 are pricier, I think. Sometimes ebay is a good thing!

[stereoface]

They are up...

[giiiant]

UP

My cart isn't working though

[laing]

available now....on BLKMKT

[Nuno]

paris hilton sold out?

[stradled]

International Standard

$ 195.12 ? Thats expensive shipping

[stradled]

EDIT: Ignore

[bobbymeachamjr]

I like this set better than the last but I do agree too many prints (image wise) out there from a relatively new artist.

[Nuno]

my shipping to the uk is $188.12, why is it £90 for a start, and why is it less than others are getting?

[giiiant]

To buy or not to buy, that is the question

[Passion Art]

Waiting for the confirmation. Anyone confirmed yet?

[hlarmy]

G - Buy, you know you want to!

Shipping costs are ridiculous though...

[Passion Art]

I got an error message when it was confirming my order. I'm shit outta luck right?
