Peter Blake - bargain prints, by huggybear on Jul 10, 2009 15:08:57 GMT 1, I've just spotted a couple of bargains on the Opus Art website. They've got a summer sale on at the moment and are offering up to 60% discount off some of their regular prices. I've just bought a Gaulsoises print by Peter Blake for ยฃ1150. This normally retails at between ยฃ2200 and ยฃ2600 at other galleries, so it looks like a bit of a bargain to me. There's other work by PB available and some other artists that might be of interest (Dan Baldwin, Tracey Emin, etc). Oh and best of all, they even offer interest free credit.....bit of a no-brainer if you ask me.

Peter Blake - bargain prints, by jay1882 on Jul 12, 2009 10:58:47 GMT 1, I wonder how other galleries that represent some of the artists included in the Opus sale feel about the 50%/60% discounts? Surely artists that are represented by multiple galleries are keen to see their prices kept more or less at an equal level (with discounts only given on a discretionary basis).
I can imagine some punters that splashed out full whack for certain pieces having the right hump too now that Opus has 'decided' that those works are not really worth the full price afterall.
I agree there appears to be a few 'bargains' to be had, but I'd venture that Opus are coming on more like a used car showroom than a credible gallery.

Peter Blake - bargain prints, by huggybear on Jul 13, 2009 15:24:47 GMT 1, Well I don't suppose anyone will believe me but I don't have any connection to Opus or any other gallery, I merely thought that I'd spotted a good deal and that other members might be interested...
I still think that ยฃ1150 is a good price. The Gaulsoises print is one of the smaller edition (95) fag packet prints and looks fantastic in the flesh. Oh and I'd love to pick one up for ยฃ300-ยฃ500, point me in the right direction and I'll snap it up!
As for Opus reducing the price, I tend to agree with Jay. I'd be a bit peeved if I was one of the other galleries with it on for over 2 grand, the reduced price skews the market, certainly until the sale period is over.
