Os Gemeos @99prints, by Happy Shopper on Jan 29, 2014 17:36:38 GMT 1, It's the eternal street art conundrum isn't it! I have to say I feel a little sick when I see Os Gemeos and JR all chummy with the rich and famous, releasing and supporting โฌ4K prints in the middle of a global recession, while their art is about the little people, rebels, and the poorest in society (OG less so, but certainly JR). It's a bit... "difficult", no? Yeah, i know what you're saying but that feels a bit like begrudging people for being successful. Would we rather they live in squats and keep it real? Maybe? Naturally... they can't win... and we've seen the same with Banksy, seemingly struggling to find a compromise that suits him (or his image) and the audience.
I'd say they make a fair amount from originals though, and shouldn't worry about the "business of art" when it comes to prints for their fans... but that's all very tricky and I'm sure they're trying to manage their career (prices).

Os Gemeos @99prints, by Petrusino on Jan 29, 2014 17:37:40 GMT 1, I'm just a little pissed off Sal; Because street art is born in the street, but then some street artists seems to forget this, Seems to forget all the supporters who have pushed them from the street to the top. This was their first release and they could put a lower price and larger editions, for all the supporters out there ... For example, how Faile does with all his various editions that meet all kind of pockets. 4k for their first print release is an insult ... if they want to become "The koons brothers" is normal for me doing a comparison with the real J koons. That is how your posts sounded between the lines - you WISH it was cheaper. But what you or me wish, and what Os Gemeos, Koons, Murakami, Faile or my drunken neighbor are doing, has NO connection. And trying to make a connection between those two, makes your posts sound silly. Instead, It seems silly to me to buy an Os Gemeos print at 4k when you can buy a J Koons at the same price .... from a point of view of investment. Instead, if someone bought it because he likes the image (after seeing it 3 seconds before the purchase. that image?? really!!??) chapeau.

I think the game has changed a lot in the pass 5 years the secondary market raised a huge awareness to the artist these day as they all search ebay and auction prices like we all do

You keep saying "investment" as though every buyer is strictly in it for the money and possible return. The sooner you realize that some people buy art because they like it, the better you'll represent yourself on art forums.
Until then, it's OK to admit that you just don't get it because you're trying waaaaaay too hard to convince people that you have better taste when clearly that doesn't seem to be the case.

Reckon I would have got one if I'd paid on PayPal instead of faffing with their archaic system, live and learn... Sorry to hear that. Their system was a joke - why wait to register an account until the time of the drop? Madness. Odd....I TOO was order 113

Pricing slightly below or at percieved market value. Granted Faile isn't fetching this kind of money for an edition print but I can bet you if they never released a print they could do whatever the F they wanted with the valuation of an edition of 99. Add Parla, Banksy, Neate, Fairey, Invader whomever to that list.
www.kawsone.com/shop/172 $24k sold out...

have to agree with Eelus.
4k and they don't reveal the image until you have to buy it is a joke i can't think of any other product or industry where this would be considered.
In no way was this for fans or collectors, if fans were considered edition size would have been far bigger price lowered.
Further more when i spend that kind of money i want to feel like a valued customer or have some kind of relationship with the gallery or artist for the future.
theres crazy figures that it will be worth 10k 20k are very wide of the mark, its not an iconic image and they hype will fade... got a feeling they will be banging out the prints. i remember some pricey Micallef prints...
Just my 2 cents worth, i am a big fan of os gemeos i appreciate what they do in terms of street work and installations but this is a cash raising exercise plain and simple.
congrats to those who purchased.

I don't entirely disagree with ya buddy, but the highlighted text above is really disconcerting.
All of this "have to buy" talk is odd. For me personally I clearly saw the image of the print when it rung 10AM here, and it even had those roll-over soon areas for more detailed viewing... and the price was BIG and BOLD beside it with a concise description of the pertinence.
So all this talk of OsG somehow 'duping' people into HAVING to buy it sight unseen... is just... weird.

Who the F are you to make such weird demands? See my post above regarding this sentiment of FORCE.
It was like 5 or 6 days of hype/marketing blitz, which was pretty much 98% fueled by US, lol.
Next time they'll announce a release of 2 color ways, each edition of 60, at $600 apiece, and then come time for the online sale, fool EVERYONE into believing they were ever available.
LOL

I think a good chunk of these prints went to speculators, so it will be interesting to see how it played out. Based on the comments in this thread, it is very easy to see who purchased, and who didn't.

I would hope those buying weren't using bill and debt money. I certainly wasn't. If you have a lot of bills and debts you can't pay i can understand why you'd be bitter about this release.

Yes, it was an adrenaline binge, but I know that people purchased this print who completed their transaction like 10-12 minutes after the bell struck.
That's not AT ALL "split second", especially if you've been in on a LOT of other guys' (laughably pathetic) drops.

It was like 5 or 6 days of hype/marketing blitz, which was pretty much 98% fueled by US, lol. Next time they'll announce a release of 2 color ways, each edition of 60, at $600 apiece, and then come time for the online sale, fool EVERYONE into believing they were ever available. LOL I'm not arguing with anyone that says LOL
Why put out blurred pictures and links to instagram when you could of just posted a picture when the original details were released? Because the didn't have to!!! Who the F are you to make such weird demands? See my post above regarding this sentiment of FORCE. It was like 5 or 6 days of hype/marketing blitz, which was pretty much 98% fueled by US, lol.

Os Gemeos @99prints, by t3c on Jan 29, 2014 18:17:48 GMT 1, EElus opens his mouth wide enough to put a foot in... have to agree with Eelus. 4k and they don't reveal the image until you have to buy it is a joke i can't think of any other product or industry where this would be considered. In no way was this for fans or collectors, if fans were considered edition size would have been far bigger price lowered. Further more when i spend that kind of money i want to feel like a valued customer or have some kind of relationship with the gallery or artist for the future. theres crazy figures that it will be worth 10k 20k are very wide of the mark, its not an iconic image and they hype will fade... got a feeling they will be banging out the prints. i remember some pricey Micallef prints... Just my 2 cents worth, i am a big fan of os gemeos i appreciate what they do in terms of street work and installations but this is a cash raising exercise plain and simple. congrats to those who purchased. I have to agree with yourself (and Eelus)
I didn't like the image either for what it's worth
