DO SELFRIDGES SELL FRIDGES?, by s-editions on May 14, 2008 7:30:08 GMT 1, Pure Evil pointed out to us the other day that Selfridges do not appear to in fact sell fridges. This sounds like anti-nominative determinism to us.
Anyway, the entire run of the special charity edition of 'I Don't Feel...' by dr.d has been bought from us in advance of publication for sale by Selfridges during the Urban Art exhibition which opens there on 22nd May. The print is in edition of 26. We have reached an agreement so that only 2-3 will be released each day of the exhibition, strictly first-come first-served with none set aside, which should give everybody an equal chance of getting one. We have donated profits from the print to ensure that at least 15% of the net retail price will be donated to the Elizabeth Fund.
The print is currently being proofed, so here is an electronic proof instead. We will post a photo of an AP as soon as we have one.
They have also purchased some of the black and grey version, and a donation to the Elizabeth Fund of at least 20% of net retail price will also be made from its sales. This version is currently available on our website, and we will make a donation to the charity for any which are sold by us up until the closing of the exhibition. A photo of the print is below:
An original miniature billboard piece will also be on display, along with a load of other great street art from a range of artists.
This is an image of the original street piece:

This is for charity. If it would raise money for charity we would happily let Asda buy them. In any case, street art is not meant to be elitist - it is for everyone.
We seem to recall that the early Banksy prints were sold through Selfridges too...

".....This is for charity......" just so I can keep posting and bumping this thread.
A man comes rounds the office selling sweets for charity at our place, I suggest people read the small print.....you pay ยฃ2 for a packet of sweets that should could 50p and 5p from the ยฃ2 goes to charity.........
I guess it all helps (the charity too!)

We are pleased to clarify this up for you.
The prints are both ยฃ195 including VAT, equating to a net retail price of ยฃ165.96. Of this ยฃ24.89 per yellow print and ยฃ33.19 per black print will be donated to the Elizabeth Fund. Selfridges have 25 of the edition of 26 yellows (the artist has number 1), so the donation from sales of the yellow version will total ยฃ622.25. They currently have 10 of the black and grey, with a projected donation of ยฃ331.90 if they all sell. The grand total donation would be at least ยฃ954.15, assuming no more black and grey ones are ordered.
The balance acounts for Selfridges costs & profit, production costs and payment to the artist.

DO SELFRIDGES SELL FRIDGES?, by alsbabar on May 14, 2008 10:45:30 GMT 1, its not for charity, because it if was then you would be using channels like Oxfam or a store that associates itself to such causes - and your final comments "The balance acounts for Selfridges costs & profit" - sums it all up
I think you will find most people on here are switched off to dr.d and your constant reaching out postings. The fact that dr.d wants to associate herself via Selfridges tells me all i need to know about her direction and your representation of her.
End of rant!!

DO SELFRIDGES SELL FRIDGES?, by Zippy on May 14, 2008 10:52:41 GMT 1, Why not sell the prints directly? This would reduce overheads of posh shops like selfridges and let the charity be the winner. Either you do not have confidence in the artists work so thought they might not all sell out or you are too bone idol. This is why POW lead this scene by a mile. When Banksy / POW do something for charity. The donate ALL of the funds. Look at Bethlehem and all the hard work involved. Look at the Cans festival. And then you sell directly to Selfridges 'cos you're lazy. And all you come back with is they once sold Banksy prints. Move on.

The subversive manor of the work used to make me smile. Now all I see when I look at it is the memory of being witness to your poor sales methods

My Faile (my avatar) was in there at the same time, and there was that huge, ornate gold framed Judgement Day, that wasn't mine though.
