Classic ! I guess most on here are C of E.. neither of which seem to need much help fucking up their religions.

Just say "fuck" is the same as "aggressively making love" and bingo.. a pro religion print

[sausageboonwee]

Adam Neate original stuck at £1,605.00. Guess that's it then.

The word F U C K is an Acronym that means "Fornication Under Consent of King", Its from the Medieval days, but I wont bore you with the History lesson.

I thought it came from the dutch/germanic word "fokken" meaning to compulate?

Amazing. All my life I have never heard that before. You learn something new every day!

After that read I think you may be right

From the wikipedia:

There are several urban-legend false etymologies postulating an acronymic origin for the word. None of these acronyms was ever heard before the 1960s, according to the authoritative lexicographical work, The F-Word, and thus are backronyms....

Sadly, also the legend about the two fingers in a 'v' being a protest against the french for failing to cut our 'bow' fingers off is also an untruth. I'm gutted about that one. I suppose it makes sense, there's no masterpieces with an english guy giving the french a 'fcuk off' sign...... Not yet anyway.

[stuey09]

If there was such a masterpiece, FPR, then rest assured it would have pride of place on my walls. ;D

Someone got an absolute bargain on that triptych last night. Went for only £580 in the end, thats nearly £200 lest than its original cost.

still overpriced IMO

[Anchorman]

Thats just crazeeeeeeeeeee!

selling a print for £200 quid less than you paid for it

somebody has got a real bargain..IMO

Dan is definitely going to be around for the long haul and the triptych is such an awesome set of prints

Shame I always liked that version...

[slowmo]

No way . The V sign has to be the truth.

I'll probably get negged for this because some forum members don't dig Mr Baldwins work but if you've missed out on some of the recent SG prints then I'd suggest having a look at the Harwood King site as they have just put up the new Baldwin print. Ed of 50 - £450. Bit dark and clearly not everyones cup of tea but I've got two of his prints and the quality is hands down better than anything POW have produced - IMO

[dealersam]

no i totally agree, saw the new one in tomtom gallery earlier today, completely silkscreen with glazing, the works. does look good i've got to admit

[craigf]

I was going to say either the website is wrong (most likely) or the price above is, but I know what the problem is. The website says $382.99, but if you add one to your basket the $'s become £'s and then there is VAT to add. For a moment I thought I might get a bargain ;D

I have three pieces by Dan; two on the wall, one ready for framing and really like his work, but this piece doesn't move things on in the same way the last release could be argued as having done. It has skulls and swallows, both done a number of times before by Dan. If I didn't have a couple of Divine Revelations already maybe I would be tempted, but I'd really like to see something new and fresh. I am sure it looks great in the flesh, my DR5 looks the dogs so I will keep my judgement open until I see it for real.

[Rude Copper]

layered with gold & silver leaf, edition of 20, £1000!!!

[Simococo]

rather have the hirst

[alsbabar]

at £1000 + vat, its no no from me - to much like a hirst, and agree with simococo rather get a hirst.

[Rude Copper]

not so much the point of the post, more, nice to see him turn out a decent print after all the stick he's had
its via forester, btw, & lets face it, they're never cheap.

[sjh]

You can actually buy the other prints of the run of 20 direct from the printers Harwood King.

While there is clearly a similar motif to Hirst's these are all hand finished so are effectively one off's.

hand finished= pay more
