Os Gemeos @99prints, by Dice on Jan 21, 2014 20:58:46 GMT 1, I went to the chuck close prints exhibition at white cube last year. One things for sure there are prints and then there are prints. Some of the techniques he uses are so complex and the quality so high they seem to bridge the gap between traditional silkscreens and originals.
I am expecting these to be much the same and probably worth every penny of 4 or 5k. This isn't a screenprint for the masses but a piece of fine art. If they come in any cheaper they will be a bargain for sure.
All assuming the image is a nice one!!!

Yes some of his print work is next level and needs to be seen in person. i was lucky enough to meet him once in the early 2000's, and love my 2 tapestries. (The smaller China ones not the huge ones from France)

Maybe but at the same time if you are expecting people to pay a considerable amount of money for something then is it not unreasonable to allow some kind of preview of your wares?
Giving a nano-second to make a decision at the perceived entry point is a bit of a piss take imo.

After searching unsuccesfully up and down for an online pdf. I did manage to find this available on a number of sites but this seemed the best deal by far www.libriaparte.com/libri/scheda.php?id=13 for anyone interested. anyone with the book can confirm? I have to dig my copy out of a mess of stuff. I'm not sure if I understood correctly but I have that book and there isn't an image in there that remotely looks like the print??

BTW, it seems to be still available here (for all the folks who don't want to spent 5K - in whatever currency - for a print release): www.icastore.org/store/category/10/208/Os-Gemeos/ Yea I had my guy frame out the text. It's cheaper now too!

Question: Are you looking for the print image itself which seems to be partially completed or the image partially pictured from the book in the photo?

The Assum Preto book is black cloth covered and not that big....not sure it looks like a book?....more like a colour print out / proof as it has a white border around it? I guess we are all trying to interpret the images on Insta to discover the print image!

To me it looks like he''s wearing a hat. Enough with this teasing just show us the print.

I guess it is likely a new piece just in the style of some of the previously seen pieces - it was bugging me that Id seen it before but can't find it anywhere, so must just look like something else. Of course, I'm looking at various stages of a work in progress on Instagram so could be miles out!

Good eye Peter.
Could it be possible that while they are in Paris they are working in multiple editions at the same time?
Many pics are in process and the one pic they are signing the edition. We don't know when they started. Perhaps they finished the one and are working on a second. It possible and answers the pics of conflicting images.

It could be a hat but if you zoom in, I think it's another head wearing a balaclava.

Os Gemeos @99prints, by sin on Jan 22, 2014 7:37:51 GMT 1, Yes they are on that level. With OGs all the way into the 6 figures and almost no multiple releases (other than the two mentioned in this thread) this is likely to be one of the most coveted prints of the year. They have shown at respected institutions, sold out major gallery shows, did a 30 foot tall piece in the middle of Boston in conjunction with the ICA show. If there is a definition of top of their game, they are it.
And there are clearly Banksy prints selling well above a few grand with some fetching close 5 figures if not above that number for rare, signed low editions. Didn't the only two pieces released 2013 year never get offered to the general public and both above 10k?

The little dude in the front is wearing a "french beret" ... makes it even more appealing to frenchies (like me) ;-)

But from the size of the book to the right of the twins, it seems to me to be Assum Preto. Apologies if it isnt then it could be the ICA book or ....? Question: Are you looking for the print image itself which seems to be partially completed or the image partially pictured from the book in the photo? I have no idea what the image looks like.....I can guess but only because of the various images on Insta as they have shown various parts of the print. The Assum Preto book is black cloth covered and not that big....not sure it looks like a book?....more like a colour print out / proof as it has a white border around it? I guess we are all trying to interpret the images on Insta to discover the print image! This looks like the bottom half of the print with the guy in the beanie, the shirt is the same. If so its pretty big!
I'm guessing they will reveal all before the release. Would prefer a lottery, or even better a old fashioned queue.

Absolutely. An emailed link is a bullshit way to release a print on a first come first served basis. Hoping it doesn't play out like that.

In PARIS That's a very good idea.
