That's exactly why you SHOULDN'T buy it. But I guess that's why most people did.
Quality control people!

Tracey Emin "The Kiss" Print, by Goooogle Male on Jun 8, 2011 15:20:44 GMT 1, I bought one. here's why:
firstly, it is a good image of a worldwide 'moment'. romantic but not sycophantic. Also happens to have an extra personal resonance as I got to see 'the kiss' for real - i live near Victoria and wandered up to see the fuss and found myself 3 rows from the front at Buck House when they call came out on the balcony. [i'm no royalist, far from it, but you've gotta love a big free event 10 mins walk from home!] second, its a great price, scrub that...a really great price - cheaper than a banksy tesco poster on ebay
third, its a signed, numbered emin print. I now have a signed emin print, and i didn't have one before. When people ask what i have in my collection I can now include "oh and a signed emin". snob value - a little, but very good value snob value!
fouth. Although i have no plans to sell it, if i ever do need to raise funds (or do a trade) it is an image that has a world wide audience, both the subject matter and the artist.
1000 may be a large edition size, but there must be over 1 billion people in the world know about this wedding/kiss. Thats pretty good edition/awareness ratio!

Well this forum shoudn't be really seen as the beginning and end of art opinion in the UK. Have you seen some of the dreck posted up by some 'artists' on here?

Must just be the print process thing.

i think you are spot on here, and there is no shame in any of these reasons, i'm sure they are shared in full or at least in part by many of the print owners. particularly share your views on point 4.

Or maybe the Independent own the rights to the first image?

Tracey Emin "The Kiss" Print, by Happy Shopper on Jun 9, 2011 11:32:14 GMT 1, It would probably have been drawn with them standing on the right side of each other, but the print would obviously be flipped (She uses the same technique Warhol used). The Independent probably flipped the print image so it looked more correct, but obviously they haven't done the same when they've made these reproductions of the original.

Emin International received the first small batch, which they allocated to their clients. The rest are still in fabrication and the print maker is producing these as fast as he can.
