Eine - Help Needed!!, by colinfishwick on Jan 19, 2011 23:27:38 GMT 1, right, i got a print for my birthday from my Mum - a letter C in fact - by Ben Eine.
i know she bought it from an Art fair in London and the fuckwits who rolled it did so so tightly they've damaged it (the paper is very thick). now this is nothing a restorer cannot fix IMO so not overly worried - the reason for this thread is actually because i know nothing about the print so can anyone help???
who released the edition, what letters were available, approx value if mint (it will look fine framed but if i ever sell i'd need to consider the cost of restoration v's current value). if anyone can help in any way with this i'd be very grateful.
it's an edition of 15, signed Ben Eine 2010 image about 300mm square, paper itself rectangular.....
thanks in advance!!

Eine - Help Needed!!, by decorum on Jan 20, 2011 1:51:44 GMT 1, This was part of the collab with Zeus - they did the complete alphabet with individual topics for the letters (eg. e=electric chair, r=rapist, g=gun...) then there were about 4 letters with no attached topic. The C was one of them. I believe they were all originals or 1/1's - didnt know they did a print run. A couple of the hand drawn individual originals were on the bay a few months ago and went for around ยฃ300. They were at ink'd for ยฃ250rrp.
