Original Swoon for sale, by Internet Warrior! on Oct 16, 2007 21:56:28 GMT 1, Deitch sell Warhols for millions and also Jeff Koons for millions.
Unfortunately for me, they use the same art specialist courier when shipping cheap (relatively speaking) pieces.
I'm sure the buyers paying ยฃ5m for a Koons really don't care about a further ยฃ2k.
They wouldn't allow me to use any other courier. I had a second piece which had glass in it, so that probably also added to the cost.
Thinking about it, i think it was actually $2800. Just checked, read below.
Looks like i just sold my Swoon below cost!
