... and that's why some people really just suck as human beings. The saving grace is karma will nip him or her in the ass eventually 10X fold. Guaranteed.

Seller kindly accepted my first offer of $1200 USD. Someone else offered me one for $3000. Whoever bought a ton of them is gonna be stuck holding for a while I’d say. I couldn’t be happier with mine but you can’t deny that the issues with the edition including condition, subject matter, lettering on the right, ambiguity in the edition, and wall space required to show the whole thing make it a difficult flip. When that person realizes this I hope some other people will have a chance at the set, it is really nice.

Id be willing to part with £550 for a set if anyone wanted to sell?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't get the feeling that a big block got sold to one person. I picked a set up and went back and forth with alinari a bit. My sense was that there were not many to start with. It also seemed like a lot of forum members picked one up.

I don't think it is that tough a sell (although that is not my intention). It's a bona fide Lichtenstein print. Maybe if someone expected thousands for it.... It is a tough one to get on the wall though! Even a cheapish archival framing job would cost more than the print. They are huge. Would look stunning in a restaurant (steak - hah!). Tougher in a Victorian semi.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but if anyone not aware, went to the Tate Modern in Liverpool over Easter, and the Lichtenstein exhibition a cracker - www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-liverpool/exhibition/roy-lichtenstein-focus

Some great pieces on show, and although knew little, was great to see this fella's art, quite something.

Also on, this exhibition - www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-liverpool/exhibition/kens-show-exploring-unseen

This too really interesting, and some fantastic pieces.

[bentheartfan]

Thanks - just had a look, the show poster is nice.
Does anyone have any Tate posters, or their "mini prints" ? Love to hear quality - they seem very nicely priced, may pick up a few for a washroom or kids room.

Thx

[Inknart]

They even have an actual screen print for 80 of Whaam

[bentheartfan]

Grabbed 2 Lichtenstein posters, a Rothko poster and a Kandinsky poster. Not bad for 60 GBP shipped across the pond !

I bought one not too long ago.  Really happy with it.  Can't wait to frame it.  I'll try to post some pics.

Nice one Benbincanada, I saw the show posters, and did look really good, a nice size as well, I'm sure you will be really happy with them. There was a Rothko in the 'Kens Show' I mentioned, this too really good.

[GMA]

Nice, on until June too, I'm planning a visit to Liverpool, purely for galleries.

[kel]

Forgot about this was there Easter weekend took family to see Terracotta Warriors and had a walk around the Walker.

Any idea on how long these may be available? Are they open editions? Would love to grab the screenprint and poster, but it's been an expensive week already.

[Dust Buster]

They seem to not have many left, but who knows if they'll restock.

[John The Badgers]

Can anyone recommend a good book on Lichtenstein's work? Saw a couple at the exhibition, but a recommendation would be great.

[tonio88]

Roy Lichtenstein: A Retrospective is a gd one..

[John The Badgers]

Appreciate that Tonio88, nice one. Will have a look, thanks for the recommendation.

I have the book “A Retrospective” too. It’s a good size (367 pages). Published by the Tate. The colours in the printing look excellent to me. I’d recommend it too.

[John The Badgers]

Thanks Coach, appreciate the recommendation as well - on the case to get this one.

Cheers.

that's what i was assuming so wasn't in any particular rush to buy..... and was a bit confused as to why they'd not have it for sale.  hope they put more up at some point.

Nice one Mash. Not sure your location, but the Whaam piece they have displayed quite something, owned by the Tate apparently. Some interesting info on the renovation. Nice to see a lot of other pieces, using different mediums there as well.

[mash]

Thanks John,

I’m in the lakes so will try and pay a visit. There’s a video of them
Restoring it on the Tate site does look amazing. Link below.
