Ian Francis at Kinsey/DesForges, by Dellboyy on Sept 5, 2008 10:04:28 GMT 1, No news mentioned about prints at the moment, i imagine they will be releasing some after the show ends, but that's a guess!
I looked at the preview pics this morning and loved them even more if that's possible! Hard to describe, but very Ian Francis like if you know what i mean... a few have a touch of devouring bunny about them i thought!
This is one of the new pieces from the open preview email:
It's also on their website, along with another preview image:

This is my interpretation - it's the view you get when you live inside a perfectly cut diamond that's been placed in a dark and beautiful place with very beautiful people...
WOW.

I would disagree, although it is all subjective.
My Devouring Bunny print cost me ยฃ600 - it is the best print I own by miles - better than prints costing 3 or 4 times the price.
On eBay you can get a fantastic low edition (50) print for sub ยฃ300.
When I see Micallef canvases for ยฃ50k at Laz then Ians work for ยฃ5-10k then relatively they appear (to me anyway) to be the bargain of the century

Ian Francis at Kinsey/DesForges, by Dellboyy on Sept 5, 2008 11:21:12 GMT 1, As Richard said, considering the last Ian Francis canvas i saw at laz was ยฃ7k + vat, i think ยฃ4k for an original is a bargain! I only wish i had ยฃ4k! :-)
Also, when bringing in people like Micallef, again as said, a hell of a lot cheaper! On a good day i could allow myself to spend four grand on a canvas... however i'm a long way of even being able to spend fifty!

Ian Francis at Kinsey/DesForges, by beasty on Sept 5, 2008 18:10:28 GMT 1, Also got the preview. Really nice work. One of the $28K ones is absolutely beautiful.
Given the continuing bad news on the global economy and the recent big drop in the value of the pound agaisnt the $ it will be interesting to see how quickly the work sells.
I'd love to get one but all spent out and current exchange rates make it even more difficult to justify.

Ian Francis at Kinsey/DesForges, by Richard on Sept 5, 2008 18:38:56 GMT 1, Ye shit, the cheapest is $7500...which is ยฃ4250 right now...I keep just halving dollars and forgetting how much sterling has weakened!
So that's ยฃ4250 + Bank Fees for Conversion + P&P (probably ยฃ250) + Tax (ยฃ250) = ยฃ5k ish.
Suddenly not under ยฃ4k after all
Still...one is tempting me ;D

Ian Francis at Kinsey/DesForges, by snausages on Sept 6, 2008 4:59:38 GMT 1, I keep ...forgetting how much sterling has weakened! Nice for us yanks buying stuff that you Brits don't run the price of stuff up so high now. But the ยฃ is still worth a lot more than it was to the dollar a few years ago.
Just not that into his style but looks ok. And don't fall into the trap thinking that these are a bargain just because greedy Laz is trying to push canvases by young artists for a whopping ยฃ50k. More than I'd pay for someone of this stature. If I were you guys I'd try and at least get the obligatory 10% gallery discount. Best wait till the end of the show and I'm sure they'll bend.

I bought one of the 36x50" pieces and am really psyched. Anyone else throw down for one?

If you own one, you def can understand!
Agree with Solar77, so much for discounts when you have only 11 originals among the hundreds ready!
