New Swoon Prints Up....., by sakyamuni on Sept 18, 2012 8:06:41 GMT 1, I am not that much into this particular image but this is a great release. Prices are a bit high for some of them but the work she did is impressive, and many are quite large. She is one of the most established artists around so that makes sense. If it was one of the image i like i would definitely buy one. I bought an original recently and i never stop staring at it

Maybe. I must say I am not up to date with swoon prices.
Perhaps I should have used the word affordable rather than cheap.
Certainly no disrespect to swoon intended. Well aware of her credentials.

Reminds me... I still need to put my Swoon original on display!

New Swoon Prints Up....., by sakyamuni on Sept 19, 2012 8:18:29 GMT 1, for originals, it is also worth contacting Cooper cole and Studiocromie, they have some nice ones available. Galerie AJ has nothing left for the moment (this is where i bought mine).
For this release, if i had to choose i would be really embarrassed, numbers 9, 12, 16, 23 and 28 would get my vote

unless the main image is hand drwan, most all her originals have subject matter that is used in multiple pieces.
I actually dont think there is much difference between this edition and her originals given the degree of variation in the edition.

I love 9 also:)
these are far nicer and more intricate than the papermonster release last year; and those sold out almost immediately...

New Swoon Prints Up....., by anbesivam1 on Sept 28, 2012 12:48:19 GMT 1, Check this out guys:
dreamreliquary.com/about/
"Dream Reliquary is a project by artist Caledonia Curry, also known as Swoon. It is a space for people who wish to participate in the creation of a sculpture containing a large repository of dreams transcribed from people all over the world. Dreams transcribed here will be printed out and stored in hundreds of tiny drawers making up the body cavity of a layered figurative image. The sculpture will be an ongoing work, whoโs first appearance will be at the exhibition โWunder Kammerโ being held in London November 2012. Swoonโs work often draws on the subconscious and dream imagery in the form of portraits containing layered and fragmented images and symbols. This work will deepen the relationship with dream imagery, while emphasizing the power of participation in shared psychological spaces."

New Swoon Prints Up....., by artylang on Oct 1, 2012 13:00:43 GMT 1, There is a major difference in these unique editions vs her originals. I feel like many people miss this detail. These varied editions that are for sale with a lot of galleries are made from screen prints that are then cut/painted/pasted. The originals are made from prints made from her carved linoleum blocks.

Pretty sneaky. Lesson learned for me that is for sure.

These varied editions that are for sale with a lot of galleries are made from screen prints that are then cut/painted/pasted. The originals are made from prints made from her carved linoleum blocks.
quality is very different and so is the price. as an example, from her show in paris, the price for a large screen print from an original linocut was 8500$ (size 110cmx116cm) when an original linocut as mine, was at 4500$ for a size of 35x28cm. Only the second one is considered an original by the gallery. When you see both in flesh you can tell the difference.

New Swoon Prints Up....., by anodyne13 on Oct 5, 2012 6:08:05 GMT 1, even the linocuts are still prints. Theyre nicer, but the image will repeat itself in mutiple editions. So if the only difference is screenprint v. linocut print I still think that any piece from this edition is very very close to an original. Im also suprised more have not sold.
