Unfortunately this Barcode has been dry mounted.

Other than that major flaw, the image is fine.

while dry mounting seems to be the cardinal of all sins, it still has value. I think most true art collectors would shy away from it, but if someone really likes the print, its worth what they are willing to pay. If I had to guess (in terms of what I would pay), I'd think its worth at least 500 Pounds. Great print.

Other forum members might know for sure, but I don't think they can un drymount art. I could be wrong.

I do not believe it is reversible, the main problem being the possibility of the adhesive bleeding through the print over a period of time, I think £500 is in the ballpark if you can find someone who would be happy with it, great image though!

thanks everyone, that's in the ballpark I was thinking... Seller now says he isn't sure exactly how it's mounted and he's going to investigate further. Says he bought it from a gallery in 2004 that specialized in screen prints so I would hope that they knew what they were doing 6 years ago.

I've read on here that dry mounting can be reversed in some instances. (depending on the glue perhaps?). In fact someone posted some images of a print that had had this process done.

Impossible to really give a value of detriment on something that has been dry mounted, but I have known in the past for the value to be maybe 1/3rd less. There is also a lot of confusion re a print being dry mounted and it having a mount around it. If you can get it for £500 that would be a steal, bleed could be an issue, but I'd take the risk if it hasn't happened in 6 years its not too likely to now

I think andy77 had a print un drymounted ( is that even a word?)

Might be worth having a word with him.
