Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by sanchorockin78 on Jan 23, 2012 12:36:38 GMT 1, well, i'm a pu**y and common sense took over...damn it. will just have to look forwward to sleeping on the streets of london for a banksy instead
Spot on ( pardon the pun ) ... Whilst still one massive chunk of money, it's still more than half as cheap as i would have had to pay for one on the secondary market!. I am pleased I finally got myself some (expensive) dots, that will actually look good on my wall.

Pauli Frames, by sanchorockin78 on Jan 23, 2012 10:20:44 GMT 1, the v best framer in the business and also a very very nice guy
Hey All, I just want to echo naughty's comments. I paid a visit to Pauli frames this weekend, and he is a really nice guy, who takes pride in his work and better still, is a collector like us and know's the value and appreciation we have for this art. He is really knowledgeable and has framed for the best in the business. I have dropped off 2 pieces with him for framing and cannot wait to get these hand crafted frames up on the walls.

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by sanchorockin78 on Jan 17, 2012 15:39:59 GMT 1, Oh dear. I bought a Lana and I have a rain coat made by Burberry. I dodn't realise how disgusting and soul destroying with my unrepentant vulgarity I was being. I shall have to queue up overnight to buy a picture of a gorilla in a glittery mask to show the world that I have taste in art. Heaven forbid I bought a picture of some spots because I like it. Can you please explain how this is any more "fool and money" than splashing out on a "Girl With Red Balloon" etc?

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by sanchorockin78 on Dec 22, 2011 14:18:24 GMT 1, From this are we saying Lana is a good or bad buy from an investment viewpoint, artistically I very much like it and have 20 minutes to make up my mind on the last one at the old price, advice gratefully accepted!
I went for a Lana as I had always liked Opium and the other series of spot prints. IMHO, it's a nice print, by a known seller and at current purchase price, worth the investment if your into it for that!. Me personally, I would rather pay 3k for a print I have always wanted up on my wall. If it's worth something in 10 years all the sweeter!.

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by sanchorockin78 on Dec 22, 2011 13:04:15 GMT 1, all things being equal (cost and likeability), do you think the Benzyloxylurea (smaller edition, woodcut) or the Lanatoside (larger of the prints, more spots) is the better buy. That's a difficult question to answer. I spent a day weighing up the two and went for the Lana because it's a larger print and although I originally preferred the colours of Benzi (I wanted a classic Hirst spot print), I thought the colours of the Lana would more closely match the Riley print I have (it is also nearly the size of the Riley whereas the Benzi is smaller). For that reason, along with the fact I missed out on the original price of รยฃ3,300 by one which meant the Benzi would be รยฃ1k more (although I gather the Lana has now moved up by 20% as well) meant that I pulled the trigger on the Lana. Other things to consider is that Benzi is a smaller edition (55) and is a woodcut (with deckled edges), whereas Lana is a higher edition (100) screen print with 'sharp' edges. I'm not sure whether a screen print is nicer as I haven't seen both in person and although I gather the woodcut's are very nice, I would imagine both are stunning in person. Either go with your gut instinct, toss a coin or check your bank balance and make a decision. You'll be more than happy with both I'm sure
Agreed!. I have taken receipt of my Bridget Riley and ordered Lano. It's the perfect spot print for me given the size and at an ( just ) obtainable price...at the moment. Cathy has confirmed they have now price hiked to 3,6k and are still selling fast

Off to the framers to swap for some UV glass the minute it arrives.

Olympics Prints- Riley/Hodgkin etc, by sanchorockin78 on Nov 18, 2011 15:13:21 GMT 1, My Hume arrived yesterday. It's an awesome print, a combination of matt and high gloss inks and in parts theres a deboss with what looks like a pool of ink sitting in it. The quality is outstanding. Hi Ade do you mind posting some photos or pm me, its a very tempting print ? @sancho you may want to check your framing spec with Counter I think standard is Plexiglass not sure if its UV or not ? Obviously warrants UV minimum. .
Yep me thinks so too depending on if it's hung in direct light. Specs state: Lime frame sprayed with a soft white matte lacquer. The print is float mounted on Heritage White Conservation board and is glazed with 3mm Perspex. Comes complete with a split baton hanging device.
Do you think it worth UV if out of the light?
Cheers Sanch

Eine โข Single Letter Canvases , by sanchorockin78 on Nov 17, 2011 14:36:18 GMT 1, Just to add my own stamp on this, bought one from No Walls and James was very very nice to deal with... All different colours and still affordable so why complain about them being available again so that more of us can enjoy having the initials they want It's not always about your artworks increasing in value, sometimes it's nice to buy something just because you want it on your (baby's) wall, will keep it forever ... so who cares about its appraisal value ;-)
I totally agree with shootagain!. Having dealt with James over email he is a really helpful guy and offered images of the available letters I was after in multiple colours. I am still mulling over getting one, but having dropped ยฃ950 on a new Bridget Riley, my missus may have something to say on it

In fact the above quoted publicity is actually telling you that it is the usual me, me, me, from the talentless one. I am just glad she hasn't drawn a picture of her fanny like she usually does.[/quote]

Anyone got a confirmation from Counter Editions on their purchase?. My order still shows as 'Pending ' when I log into the site?!
