[Poster Bob]

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

I really like the print. I am, however, quite curious about what, if any, meaning the artist intended to convey by the choice of the location of the split in the bill and the inclusion of the parenthetical modifier "equally" in the description.

It would seem the tear is where there is the least amount of graphics on the note, and with the white would show up best in the photo.  Also shows better from the bottom, and brings some movement to the center of the image - you notice the tear then dart back and forth over the opposing sides.  Just my thought.

Yeah , I kNow : I sold a Slinkach book ( the big city I think ) numbered with a little signed photo inside around 480 $, 2 years ago...
Slinkachu is a very nice person, but I don't know why people are still crazy about... It was funny at His birth, but 2 years ago, it is always the same procede... the method is not new in photography... and in Contempory art !

Yep, to be commended in this day and age!

[skendo1]

Hairbland, thanks for sharing your thoughts. That makes a lot of sense. And I agree that it is visually effective. I had been approaching it from a does-this-say-anything-about-the-substantive-value-of-money-in-the-context-of-social-commentary lens rather than a design one.

So.....does anyone know the price of signed prints or not?

[nacional]

Not one of his best but quite cute I guess..

Ever since my drunken purchase of a 1800 sterling Slink at a Paddle 8 auction (next day forgot I had purchased...then got the bill!!)...I have tended to see Slink as having a curse for me...

[Quinnster]

Would love a £10 one if anyone can sort it out....

Thanks in advance :-)

[Collection 1]

me too if anyone can sort it out.

[Shoeless]

Just picked up my 3rd Slink, Close Shave but wouldn't mind adding this as well.
If anyone is willing to help out, after the others have been sorted, I would greatly appreciate it!
Can always find a good spot for these little guys.

I don't think you will get much change from a grand. They're expensive. From andipa that is.

When Andipa brought Slink's work here in NYC, the works started at 2500 usd.

note to self: do not wear crocs.

Crocs are OK, but wear them with socks and you are seriously breaching protocol<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

FYI i didnt get back to them !

[Aza]

I've always like Slinkachu, but not to the tune of a few grand.
Hopefully I'll get chance to pop by and pick up one of these for a tenner 
What does newsprint mean? Cheap and nasty?

[Dice]

Ha I was way off. I'm sure they were a lot cheaper at his last show. £2500 for the cheapest photo by slinkachu. Jeez.

[Dungle]

Hopefully I'll pop in on Saturday and will grab a few of the 10 ones. Will let you know if I do.

To compliment this theme you can view the image at the show as a very limited, 120x180cm aluminium-mounted, glossy 'elite' print. Conversely, theres also the 'people's' version, printed in a tabloid newspaper format using traditional newspaper stock and ink with all the imperfections and idiosyncrasies you'd expect from newsprint. If you haven't got the funds and the palatial space for the elite version, the newsprint version is available for only £10 (of course!) and is an unlimited, unsigned edition for sale to anyone at the show, until it closes.

Hmm £10 suddenly seems quite expensive
