Fast becoming the Holy Grail of Neate prints!

[ABC]

Only Holy becuase they are being offloaded for more!!

[sausageboonwee]

I have to say this is one print that I haven't actually seen being offloaded

A fair few have been sold by various galleries already, whether its a gallery or for ebay Id say a lot were bought for resale.

I'd say you are wrong, big time.

The majority of the portraits were bought by those collectors who bought originals before the show had opened to the public, only a small number were bought by people in the queue.

Once the few galleries and other lucky few who bagged them on the opening night sell these on, they will be sooooooooo hard to get hold of. Do you really think that someone who splashed 30k+ on an original to add to their art collection bought a set of portrait prints to flog on? I don't.

Very true, just like micallefs 'red dress'

Got to agree,there hasn't been a red or white portrait on ebay which is always a good indicator as to amount of flipping that is going on.

Many were definitely bought for resale. They showed up on gallery sites like artifical and nosco within what, two weeks? And some galleries got more than one set, and others sellers sold privately, just not through ebay.

The comment comparing these to GIRD is really funny. When GIRD came out it was actually more of a rumor, and we had a discussion on the old ebay Micallef forum- nobody had seen one, and there were stories that LAZ had sold them all privately, and others said they were never sold at all. Even Laz wasn't saying what had happened with that print. NOT ONE GALLERY HAD THIS PRINT period, and I have never seen one that has to this day. You couldn't just stand in line and get one at the Micallef show either.

I agree, a large amount of sales on the portraits are being done privately.

Why is it that people talk bollox having heard whispers elsewhere.

It is a fact that no one got more than 1 print of ANY of the prints (unless they did something like queue with a friend.)

And I know that the vast majority - 30 or so were sold to people who weren't in the queue. Say 5 people out of the other 20 decide to keep them, that leaves 15 to be sold on after which you can say goodbye to the thought of getting one.

Wrong big time? Bold statement, I was near the front of the Queue and know a fair few who will sell them on, shame as I missed out and I certainly would not if I managed to get one or two. 19 were reserved so 31 were sold on the night, agree its a small amount but Ive heard around 9 pairs have already been sold and Im sure there will be more.

"Why is it that people talk bollox having heard whispers elsewhere".

Whos talking Bollox?

I was referring to the statement that people got 2 pairs of prints. Regardless there is no need for me to get bitchy so I apologize but I would say that the 19 reserved figure is lower than what I heard from someone who bought an original, someone who isn't the type to make things up. But I could be wrong so I can't really judge or get up on my high horse. Lo siento.

[manchestermike]

They are available if you have a look see - I bought the pair myself in the secondary market

[RBK]

Does anyone know definitively if any have sold and for how much? The ones at artificial and gallery nosco have both gone from reserve to POA.

[ABC]

I know two sets that have gone for 10k and 12k

And one for £8k (very quickly after the opening )

[sausageboonwee]

So, for the help of anyone looking for the portraits - does anyone know of any available on the secondary market APART from our friends at Nosco and Artificial?
