Jeremy Geddes π³πΏ Cosmonaut Paintings β’ Print Release News, by sin on May 9, 2014 17:56:56 GMT 1, I've been on Geddes case for a while about 1. constantly bringing back this type of imagrey / not being able to really move on 2. trying to lay claim to this type of imagry as something that is so distinct that anyone else using astronauts is being derivative. This release for me just drives home point 1 to a level that I think its jumping the shark or releasing a greatest hits record when there is nothing left in the tank. Flame away, just my humble opinion He must be sat at home now just waiting for your next missive. I can't believe he doesn't listen to you. That's really unreasonable of him. What with you being so humble an all. Do me a favor and blow it out your ass. When I say I am on his case I am clearly not talking about one on one advisory type communication. I mean I've posted in threads on ye ole social media platforms and driven at these two points. He has commented back, we have gone back and forth on it. I've posted here on the same topic, in a thread about rising stars, where I said I think Geddes has hit a all and that he cant figure out where to go next and is at the same time laying claim to a concept that is the antithesis of unique.
You seem to like to pick fights with me since we had a disagreement in the past, something about the economics of art or some such thing. If you really have to take out your disdain through snarky uninteresting comments, so be it, but I just find it rather petty and of no real value.

Jeremy Geddes π³πΏ Cosmonaut Paintings β’ Print Release News, by alittle on May 9, 2014 18:38:14 GMT 1, I think sin has a real point here, so I wouldn't really dismiss his opinion with some sarcastic bullshit.
I'm not sure I really understand this decision for a timed edition at this juncture. Demand for his prints are at an all time low, with some of his best work like Heat Death sitting at 25% of their market value just 18 months ago. To top it off, this is a real slap in the face to the owners of the original Red Cosmonaut.
All that being said, I am a big fan of Geddes. I think he is one of the most talented photorealistic painters out there today. I don't think any of this will impact his ability to sell $45K originals, but I do see some of the recent imagery as taking a step back, and re-hashing what has already been done.

Rather than being a "slap in the face", if you liked the original red cosmonaut, then you'll love this.

Jeremy Geddes π³πΏ Cosmonaut Paintings β’ Print Release News, by alittle on May 9, 2014 19:01:09 GMT 1, Sound logic. Demand at an all time high but prices at an all time low, despite a fairly sparse release schedule? Explain that one...
Solid reading comprehension too. I said this is a slap in the face to OWNERS of the original Red Cosmonaut. There is now a timed edition out there that is not materially different from your limited edition image, which is a perfect low cost substitute for any potential buyers. This ensures that any value accrued in your print over the last few years has now been eroded in an instant due to a poor decision by the artist.

Jeremy Geddes π³πΏ Cosmonaut Paintings β’ Print Release News, by Deleted on May 9, 2014 20:30:27 GMT 1, The talent is undeniable but the print market is fickle and does there remain the possibility that the star rose too fast? Let's face it, it wouldn't be the first time that an artist has suffered? at the hands of the market?
Anthony Micallef is a prime example of that, no?
Let's see the size, the price etc and then give some commentary? That said, if I did own a red cosmonaut then I might have a bigger axe to grind.

The little ebay flipper bubble burst.. good. But that's it. And as I said, if you liked the original red, then you'll love this. I'm presuming people who own it also like it. Odd you don't make that same connection mr "value accrued" lol

Jeremy Geddes π³πΏ Cosmonaut Paintings β’ Print Release News, by alittle on May 9, 2014 22:08:02 GMT 1, Clearly you have no grasp of basic economics.
We are dealing with limited prints here, where the supply is fixed. Market price is situated at the point where supply meets demand.
Now, heres a question even a 5 year old could answer -- If the supply remains fixed, and the price has gone down, what has happened to demand?
I'm not talking about pre-sale flips on eBay, I'm talking about a widespread decline in prices across his entire catalogue.
And again, your reading comprehension is poor. I never said that his market for originals is or will suffer. It is quite robust, actually.

For his market in general - demand is lower than it has been without a doubt, and this is not his first timed edition so we will know for sure soon. Prices are very low for anything resale and not just flippers (his last set of prints are selling below cost) originals are not even selling out. I doubt many with the red cosmo will like this one - I do have one and do not like this - as it is not creative nor any step forward, but I think he is only hurting himself by doing this as it is 95% the same image - even if he did paint it this year.
The same thing is happening with Josh Keyes - actually very similar... went in a different direction and there is backlash and weak sales so you go back to the money (which Keyes hasnt done yet... but might)

Its a lovely print which I would seriously consider buying, especially as its a timed release which I think is a great idea. Only problem is I've got the Red Cosmonaut, so therefore I am a bit pissed off.

Ok guys lets get ome thing right. Right now email johnathen levine gallery in new york and I think you will find two originals for sale for Β£6800 each (Β£12000 for both) at around 80cmx50cm. Ok not corperate size pieces but still affordable. His work is still in very high demand but martyn is right on this. Just not on ebay
I alsk agree that its just stupid to bring out the red on a timed release and very lazy. Wont stop everyone including me going for one though lol

balibob I think you are pretty lucky to have the Red Cosmonaut mate, I'm now a bit gutted I let mine go a while ago, as I think they will look great framed together.
Geddes did a similar thing (as a friend pointed out to me) with 'Adrift' and 'Ascend':
Seeing them together actually makes sense.. I will definitely go for one if I am not priced out.

Jeremy Geddes π³πΏ Cosmonaut Paintings β’ Print Release News, by sin on May 10, 2014 15:11:30 GMT 1, there is no question that Geddes is an extremely shilled painter. However, the world is full of skilled painters. Geddes put together a body of work that has a distinct look and tone. Floating astronauts in empty space or in a desolate city. He then explored human subjects in that same landscape, which was a well received expansion on a theme. It seemed to me, that he was then looking to explore from there but got stuck. He reverted back into prior themes of floating subjects in empty space, astronauts, birds, quiet almost sullen subjects. It's safe, but I think collectors can smell that.
During this period the print market started to fall. Maybe it's a correction of speculators falling off and looking to limit loss. Maybe it's just people not liking a new body of work that seems like a song they have heard before. Whatever it is they secondary market is softer on the print side and the primary market is slightly softer on the paintings side.
Judging the primary print market in comparison to where it was years ago is somewhat pointless as there has been an exceedingly strong secondary market for a while. It would be unlikely that the primary print market would correct so far back. However producing a near duplicate to ones most in demand image is a sure fire heavy sell. Everyone who has been lusting at a thousand dollar++ print will be able to satisfy that fetish with this close copy of that image.
IMHO as was stated prior this is a similar track as Keyes except Keyes has more courage by pushing through his departure into his fully rendered scenes.
Will be interesting to watch from here.

What warmgun said, but worth adding that the size of the edition is dictated by how many sell in that timed period. So edition will be large for a popular print.
