OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by kbfrombk on Jan 31, 2014 1:13:48 GMT 1, I personally have no problem with the release. But I can understand that there was an element of douchebaggery in not releasing the price and image of the print in advance. If they had released price and image in advance it would have been a more classy way to go about it, not that class amounts for much these days.
The blurry teases and delay in showing image I guess could be seen with a raised brow, but I really don't think it has anything to do with class. Maybe check back into your childhoods and remember how fun it was to have a surprise like that?

If they had released price and image in advance it would have been a more classy way to go about it, not that class amounts for much these days. Somewhat true but i would challenge that in a conspiracy-theory-type way and say that the board was all a-flutter about OsG pricing at €4,000 and I would reckon to you and others that was no random shot-in-the-dark guess.

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by raindogs on Jan 31, 2014 8:13:12 GMT 1, If I read this thread I find roughly 60% of posts about the price of the edition. You have already the answer: the print is sold out, this happened in 20 minutes, the print was oversold. So the price is right and probably they would have sold out at higher price. So yes it is indeed a good investment. Few comments about the artistic value of the print. Please share your opinions about art too!

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by alittle on Jan 31, 2014 8:29:57 GMT 1, Didn't love the image. I mean, I liked it, but I didn't $5K like it. To me, a big part of their work is the beautiful colour, and I just thought this piece looked a touch drab with the grey background. Pondered buying the print for what it is, but didn't really feel like spending $5K for the wrong reasons. Ended up buying the Inti print produced by the same studio at a tenth of the cost. It may not be worth $15K, but I like the image more, and my collection is not about investment/speculation.

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by saint on Jan 31, 2014 14:07:22 GMT 1, Have you spoken with you bank @rottenredrooster?
Often banks can put a ghost payment on your account, so it will look like the money has gone, but it is really just earmarked to go if the retailer then accepts the payment. The retailer can decline the payment (due to for example something being out of stock) and they will not recieve any money, but it may take longer for your bank to then take the payment off hold.
Did you pay via debit card? if so, should 99prints have accepted the money you would also have a fee for a foreign currency transaction (i think). If you don't have this it is is likely to be a ghost payment.
Fingers crossed for you.

Yep, 90euro fee was added to the transaction.
Should get sorted today hopefully. Cheers

As for the Os Gemeos print, i've said it before and will say so again. I love the look of the print. I like the fact that they stepped away from the work they do at gallery shows, colourful backgrounds etc, and tried to keep it in a similar line to their street work. I really look forward to seeing better images of the print, as I think the way the background is done will look like a wall thats been buffed. The colour and patterns coming through on the characters top, and knee, will i'm sure really pop, and the shadow effect will also i'm sure work very well.
All in all, i think its a great print. I also think Os Gemeos would not put their name to something and sign it unless they were very happy with it. You don't wait 20 years to drop a print and then drop something you don't think shows your current work off IMO.
Just my 2c on the art itself rather than the price

It is not just one person because the hat is actually another person that is masked.... like them they are 2 people but they work as one. The piece is saying to me that Os Gemeos started their work on walls and now they are ready to break out and take on the other side of the art world.

Is the koons a good investment? Koons is massive in the US and this is a large, low edition, signed print of one of his most famous images. Based on historical auction sales, I can see this selling for upwards of $25k in the right auction. Good investment? You do the math..... |

You've bought one and you're looking for a few more? Are you talking about the prints? If you are, why would you want more than one? Flipping?
You sold a daft punk table for five times the amount of the print? Really.....

So are you the ultimate arbiter of quality? Art is subjective. Some of what I think is s**t, people pay millions of dollars for. Is it ? It's a very common argument and would seem to undermine the whole arts education system the last few hundred years. 6.8 Billion people all have a different opinion on each work and each opinion is valid ?

I do not like the price being this a first release (there is a market for paintings and a market for prints, and often the two do not go hand in hand, because the clientele is different). The first release, usually, has a low price and in accordance with the price at which it sells on the secondary markets, determine the price for the following releases. Collectors like to pay k10 for a print of an artist whose originals sell for one million, not for an artist whose originals sell for near K100 (especially if there will be other OG prints in the future); then the secondary market, for that price already expensive from release, is killed, and buyers attracted to collect something that is "collectible" (in sense of desiderable and profitable), go away to buy others. mine, are probably all bulls**ts; and also badly written. I know. Sorry

Can't speak to the investment potential but I think I would like the image and a lot of Koons work if it wasn't for all the hype. Hype tends to turn off my interest. Might be why I'm not interested in Retna or Dolk after spending so much time on this forum. Banksy seems to be the one exception for me. Although his prices don't interest me. |

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by rottenredrooster on Jan 31, 2014 18:48:50 GMT 1, Something's not right here.
I've had to send 5 emails to get a response. I acknowledge they would have received a lot, but there's a team of people. I deal and reply to dozens of emails a day. No reason why they can't.
Finally got a reply stating they haven't received my payment. In their own words 'not our responsibility'. I left it a day, checked with my bank and saw for myself that the funds left and went to them. They've got it no two ways about it.
They earlier replied to me stating I will be refunded today. Nothing and I'm not hopeful given it's nearly 7pm in France.
What's the issue. It take a few seconds to give my cash back. The lack of communication, having to chase them up and the first email claiming they never received the funds have left me concerned.
If they had just emailed saying we had issues, we will send the payment back on X I wouldn't have to be writing this.
Not impressed.

If anything I would say that they're still waiting for YOUR actual payment to clear into their account(s), before remitting refund. Sure they could refund you from the many funds they've accumulated but I guess for the sake of clean organization it might be best to do matching sets of refunds?

All banks are different and the scene is further muddled when zooming out onto an international scale. money doesn't always just FLY instantly in a snap from one country to another. Just as it'll take 2-3 days for a payment to show up on your bank account (go from pending, to completed, to fully executed), it also take similar, sometimes, on the other end as far as acknowledged receipt, acceptance, clearance, and full receipt.

This was my initial thought. I had emailed them initially as I never received any sort of confirmation or acknowledgement of my purchase. I did this twice.
2 days later and no reply, so I emailed again. The response was that the payment was never forwarded. Something I thought was strange. I left it until today where I have confirmed with my bank, the card company too that the payment has left and the company has got it.
I was then told today I will get my refund today - this is an acknowledgment they have the payment as opposed to yesterday's email where they said it wasn't their problem.
