large hpm album covers: (somehow, i missed the bomber dropping records...-sorry)








wall of framed record prints... ( these are the prints that come in the box sets)




hpm records (regular size 12 x 12 inches)





4 new ones :





few crowd shots...










the lovely line on the way out.... -went almost out the parking lot.... - I had parked illegally in the parking lot... when I got out there, I could not find my van.....i walked right by it... (thought it was towed) - then I realized it was covered by a wall of people...

[eschiff]

Looks incredible. What were prices like?

[Winter]

$8k for the big ones $2k for the smaller ones

The communication around the lottery, payment and now the sending out of the print has been poor. Such a shame, because it takes the shine off things.....

I'll just be pleased to get the print 'in hand'.

[des77]

Where they selling the whole editions or just a couple from each set ?
Thanks for the pics !

[Harveyn]

Great shots EC. The large HPMs look fantastic especially Attack in Black.

[Winter]

Would love one of the large ones but $8k is too much for me. I do think $8k for one will seem cheap in years to come.

[nacional]

Any of the smaller ones still on sale...anyone has a link?

[Sacked...]

Thanks for the pics.Did you buy a ltd edt set ?

Id drop the gallery a mail. Im not sure anyone has had reply's yet about purchases

[nacional]

Thanks des77, just done that!!!

[mmmike]

I find it funny how at art shows like this so few people are looking at the art. Most people are talking or standing around looking cool.

[sashaz]

they had a few at the show.... maybe 50 of each set ( 2 different sets)

they will release more on the obey website (time yet to be determined )

[krevice]

the price was $1,800 if you chose to buy both sets or two of the same set

i had the choice to buy a set but i don't know if i would want 36 12" prints with no color just black and white for $950..plus all of those prints have already been released

buy two box sets ed. of 150 or original 1/8 for the same price

you cant just say that... what album piece did you get ?

[A.R.T.]

Wrong bro. None of those prints have ever been released. This is the first time an Obey album has been released that was not fine art. As far as the 2 box sets costing as much as an HPM, wrong again. Album HPMs are 2k, so you are a coupld hundred off.

Interesting pricing. Buy the two sets +$200 and you get an original - sounds like a good upgrade. But then you look at the larger size originals. They look way cooler than 4 mini originals so you have to go for the larger size. Seems like a better deal...
Hey wait a minute I was thinking about buying some prints now I'm thinking about spending $8,000!!! ? !!!

These really are not my first choice for Shep stuff but i can understand why people would go for any or all of those.

i would love to see some Shep originals in person.

Were you at the show? Most of those images are just variations of prints that have already been used ie. Lotus flower, power and equality, surfer, obey funk, megaphone.

You obviously stood in that "flipper" line and have your set on ebay right now.

$200 more for an original or 36 "recycled prints" that were spewed out of printer

Maybe it's the fact that you purport to be an expert on art while you're pretty much wrong in every post, or maybe it's just your abrasive entry into conversations, but you come across as a complete 'I know it all' ass, whether it's on Banksy, Giant, Expresso Beans... Why not just sit back, listen and learn on occasion, rather than posting more garbage that turns out to be less than true?

i find that art openings in LA are predominantly people not so much interested in the art, as the social event. i would say that actual collectors at openings in LA are the minority.

The surfer image hasnt been used in any print.
There are tons of images there that havent been used as prints.

[krevice]

I was wrong in saying that all the prints have been already used but quite a few are similar to past prints...The Hawaiian Skater print of '05 and the "Surfer" print have similarities

[A.R.T.]

Unfortunately I did not go to the opening, so I did not have the opportunity to get a box set. Even if I would have, I would not be flipping the set. I understand that some of the images on these album prints have been seen before. I was referring to album covers being available as prints. Sorry for the confusion.

[Winter]

I think the covers look great and am hoping to get one in the 'lottery'

The fact they are both standing on a board is about it.
