JR in Long Beach, CA, by jonvespa on Mar 5, 2011 4:50:10 GMT 1, Not sure if this was posted elsewhere...but because of the TED convention, JR had a pop up gallery space here in long beach. It was only open yesterday and today. For free, you can get your pic taken and they give you a large format print to wheatpaste in your community. There were pieces on the walls, i inquired about a smaller one (around 3x5 feet), it was $150,000. Not exaggerating.

JR in Long Beach, CA, by jonvespa on Mar 5, 2011 16:04:31 GMT 1, im thinking the dude who worked there messed up, he was telling EVERYONE they were $150k.....but the guy worked for TED and not phantom galleries or JR. I have a call into another girl who was helping out to confirm these prices.
As far as the free print, I'm keeping it....but my friends all secured a wall in long beach to paste up a bunch of themselves....
