What is going on with the price of A Perfect Vacuum?! This one on ebay www.ebay.com/itm/JEREMY-GEDDES-A-Perfect-Vacuum-Signed-Numbered-SOLD-OUT-/200711575121?pt=AU_Art_Prints_Posters&hash=item2ebb579651 is currently at $1950 (US) with 8 days left! One just sold on here for over $1000.

Is it just excitement over his upcoming show? Are these prices sustainable?

I'm guessing the prices will stay. Geddes is not street art, but somehow he has captured both the urban and street art fans hearts.
Also, his paintings are very detailed. One of them can take months to finish.
But it is going to be interesting to see what happens the upcoming year

nathzz, can you elaborate here?

[plush]

Wasn't this $250 when released? So, $1000 is not that insane to me. I see many $45 - $60 pieces commanding 4x. Yes, I think that one on the bay will go for $2500. Heat Death went for $2900 just 2 days ago. As far as prices coming down, maybe, but I think getting this for $1000 may not happen again.

Agreed...

[simonsion]

Same

[spenie]

Hype.. Great painter and love his work but prices are silly at the moment .

[Argiebaji]

Yes he is very popular right now....but he will continue to release more great prints at bigger edition sizes....and then due to the less rare effect the prices come down....I guess..?

[fairplay1974]

With your logic argie the historic pieces with the smaller edition size will likely increase rather than come down... Jeremy's popularity will increase, larger future editions will satisfy demand/potentially also increase fan base and older rarer/smaller edition size prints will rise in price.... Of course any prediction is currently hypothetical, but Jeremy is clearly talented and looks set for a good future.

I don't think that will affect the prices of his 'older' ( here: those that could have been bought from source one year ago) prints, like cafe, heat death, the street, etc. ... they will be more sought after because of their small edition size... but for his new or timed releases prices will be moderate and prints still to be had for affordable prices even on the secondary market... just my guess of course

I have one which is due to be framed as it is huge, so maybe I am not the best one to comment - but I will anyway.

Being Expressobeans 2011 print of the year will keep this one a bit high as it will show up on the homepage every time someone goes there. People didnt think that Eelus "not everything..." would stay so high and it has... it was print of the year 2010.

Funny thing is that at the time this was released many people on here were moaning about it not being an astronaut blah blah

[nocode]

Hi all!
This is one of best pieces that i have in my collection, it´s amazing in person and in my opinion his strongest image released as a print to the date.

Take care!

Great Artist, managed to pick up one piece from source and three more from secondary. Paid £300 for red cosmo in the summer last year and was told I was mad as this was a bubble waiting to burst.

Fortunately got all 3 secondary mkt pieces for less than the going rate for any one of his pieces now ;D

Unfortunately there are still some classics I turned down last year and now will never have them.....unless that bubble bursts

I'm taking a chance on this one. Going for a massive classic frame(130x90 cm), and told the framer to whatever she thought was needed to make it perfect
Could be success, but i can also have gone too much, cant wait to see the result hehe.

[legalalien]

Here is mine




Don't even really have anywhere to hang it but literally cannot bear to part with it!

[anarquee]

Really nice and original framing! Thanks for sharing!

[Passion Art]

What do people like about Geddes? I find it appealing but I'm just curious.

[Deleted]

to be cynical for a moment (!) simply because of the rapidly increasing secondary prices and they're like really awesome almost photographic representations of weird but enchanting images.

for others because of the narrative moving from picture to picture, title to title, of an ethereal purgatory like universe where the forces of nature combine and fall apart just out of view. Look up the meaning of heat death or perfect vacuum, there's a massive dark undercurrent to these that for most will just pass them by.

And no I don't have any.

Question: what would a small crease do to the value of this print;, one that is on the edge, something that could frame out, but it is there , none the less.

Reduce the value determined by the severity of the crease, if it could be restored, the buyers view and if you were honest

DD, finally got a chance to read up on these meanings a few minutes ago (been on my to do list)- thanks for sharing that...

don't have any Geddes and not in the market for any at the mo, but enjoyed the mind expansion exercise...
