New Ernest Z print incoming..., by Deleted on Nov 27, 2014 11:12:36 GMT 1, I agree this print seems a lot but I think the image is great. I imagine its not cheap to produce these in Paris and when you consider this is less than the recent invader which had four editions of 65 at £375 and the gold at £900 ? and this is only an edition of 60.

I like the image too but it's hardly an apt comparator given the gross disparity in the market for the two artists' works.

If the price was too low everyone would be complaining about flippers saturating the market and real collectors missing out on a print they would like to own and cherish.

New Ernest Z print incoming..., by Print Them All on Nov 27, 2014 13:33:47 GMT 1, With price being the biggest issue disused here we wanted to take a moment and explain few things:
The production of fine art editions was never cheap, and so weren't their retail prices. We're talking about production that is 100% manual, with skilled professionals being involved in every step of it, using specialized high end equipment and materials.
New technology made it possible to produce editions at much MUCH lower costs, but the quality of print and the amount of work that goes into production can not be compared. The edition of 5 giclees or 500 giclees doesn't make a huge difference in costs, and can be done in matter of hours by one person. Also, nobody can't guarantee how ink jet prints will stand the test of time, cause the technology itself has been around for not that long.
We are aware that are prices are not affordable for everyone, but we're offering products that justifies the price. It's like buying an IKEA chair or a Herman Miller chair - both of them will work, but the chances are that the later will keep it's value and staying in great shape for a long time. The fact that lithographs produced at the same place as ours are exhibited at the museums worldwide, proves that too.
So, we're sincerely sorry that some of you feel our editions are priced high compared to others. By all means please buy the one you think is better value and can afford, but comparing our releases with others on the market just isn't fair on many levels.
Thank you for reading and showing interest in our products!

Is VAT included in the price? If so, do overseas buyers get the VAT refund?

Like the incorporation of Mondrian but the print loses something from the similar wall piece.

Amazing thing called inflation.
Jesus you'd think the guy was charging 10,000 pounds - he's an artist who has bills to pay and values his own skill and craft - he deserves to be able to eat. On top of that you have a top notch printing process that also costs.
People whining about the price - get yourself down IKEA.

Price is high, then it gives you time to think and buy it because you want it, not just as an impulse to see how much it will sell on eBay tomorrow... congrats to the new owners

Give it time and I'm sure they will all go.I just don't think he has the fan Base yet, the image is fine but I think you would have to be a big fan of his to go for one.
I'm happy every member on here who wanted one actually got one as it's been said,very rare at the moment. Shame it won't happen for the phlegm print release in december

A good thing about the price being so high is that the fans of his work will actually get the opportunity to buy, as there is not the usual flipper frenzy.
