I have been quoted £300+ for shipping within the UK. Would be cheaper to charter a plane.

I have just spoke to Elms and told that £300 was just an off the top of the head price, they are shipped and insured within a secure crate with the crate being the bulk of the cost. From the sounds of it it would have been much cheaper than £300. I've chosen to collect in person as I'm in London often enough.

Anyone grabbed the Hug yet? Want to see some more pictures.

?? So they are sold out?

Whoops with the exception of the 3d type thing in the upper gallery of the editions

I went last week to see the show, thought it was great. Loved the chair and green man one ( sorry can't remember the name). It was beautifully made and looks just like the original

Was a little disappointed seqret. Looked nice don't get me wrong but it just looked like a screen print/ glicee behind glass with a very small screen printed white strip on the glass.

Hello all, it's been a while, been overseas quite a bit trying to earn a living.

I took my daughter along to the show today. Some of the originals simply blew me away - the runners, the cyclists and the reclining nude in particular. It shows fantastic progression in his work. I really do hope it ends up with the recognition he deserves.

We couldn't run to an original, but i would have bought the lenticular edition in a heartbeat. It is simply stunning. It stopped me in my tracks. It is, as written above, sold out. Apparently they will be doing some more lenticular editions. I will snap one up as soon as I can.

We ummed and aaahed, and decided to pull the trigger on a 'Hug'. I cAn understand why some might not think the editions '3D enough', but their appeal grows with the watching. The more i looked at it, the more 3D it seemed to me. I also think that this marks a good point in his career to pick up a transitional edition.

Paul and Fiona said that the Hug is nearly all sold out and is selling the fastest. They expect all editions to sell out. They are off to the Middle East very shortly and i wouldn't expect much, if anything, to be left afterwards.

It was a bonus to also be able to walk out with the piece as they had received a number of the edition already and after today's collections, had a couple over.

We now have a street piece, a London edition and a dimensional edition. A lenticular is a must for me. Who knows, maybe an original one day as well. :-)

A phenomenally good artist, that shows progression with every show. I am impressed.

Regards,

Adam.

Great post Adam. 'Hug' looks fantastic. Congrats!

I bought the Hug and its being sent out this week! It looks amazing although I would kill for the sold out lenticular ! If anyone has one and looking a quick turn with a good profit please PM me..
Paul said new lenticular works would be done but at a price of at least £3500.
The lucky 5 are very lucky !
I would love to see some framing ideas for the Hug! May start a separate thread

I do t have the book can you post?

Does anyone know if The Hug is still available, and if Elms Lesters is open today (Sunday)? Been trying to get a hold of them last couple days...

Dice good choices. I really couldn't make up my mind which I prefer of those two. But was siding with the nude. Both stunning pieces

Think yours is a good solution congrats

Haha good man. No will not go to Taipei as most are Asian galleries that are from Sing HK and china so not great for me and all spent up after the Elms show. Will be interested to see what Elms will show though release hints at new pieces. But may be what's not sold from the current show if any left
