Oh, eat shit. There are affordable originals on paper from both Cooper Cole and Alice Gallery. I figured the self proclaimed expert would know what is out there.

There are some nice pieces there, but any that feel like this recent release are around 5k euro. So yeah, a pretty big jump from 1k usd.

An original on paper at the 2k or less mark looks like this.



Which I much prefer over any silk screened multiple. We all know what her print looks like so I'll skip that one, but a canvas in the 10kish range looks like this:


Now, I dont feel her silkscreened prints have the same feeling as either the works on paper or the canvas. Its completely different.

I love all 3 of the works (paper, canvas, print), but in this scenario youd find me grabbing the paper for 2k, or nothing. Im still bummed I didnt buy your Maya Nosnereb.

usually in the 20x29" range and about $2200 usd.

I really love that large canvas.  The small one on paper - not so much.  Part of what I like about her work is the transparencies and the way it creates a feeling of depth.  Without that, I just see a bunch of X's.

You can see why she is always jumping around in the recent pictures of her, i would be too.

Yep Fed, I can see how that's attractive. I like them all for various reasons, I feel the work on paper is similar to a sketch, rough and undefined. The canvas is very defined and looked after, and the prints are a representation of her style. But, they're still just prints, you and 30 other people own it, unlike the paper and canvas where it's only yours.

Yeah, Kelie is great. She's helped me with a few print purchases as well.

People in here are buying to own... Or maybe not, I don't know.

Full disclosure, I've been following Maya for several years now and own several originals and a couple prints. Yes, her prices have risen since this summer (I agree part of it is the "Miami effect"). As evidenced by recent prices and projects, she is clearly trying to move up the scale in terms of price and visibility.

There will always be plenty of flippers around shuffling around prints, but the real question remains as to where her collector base heads next on the primary market.

I am more concerned about galleries pressuring her to increase production of "X"'s, which might put her works in more collectors' hands, but limit the upside (simple supply/demand). Time will tell, I think she's quite talented and am very happy to have her works displayed at home.

See Swizz Beatz just added a Triptych to the Dean Collection. Nice 

Elephant OG's are cheaper... here's one for 479 usd

I find it funny that people are complaining about the price of the print. It's twice the size and less than half the run, of 'Very X', so obviously warrants a higher price tag. It may be a tad on the high side, but it's not outrageous by any means. And really only 20 or so were probably sold, as I'm sure a few were passed around to friends and family, and a few kept as backups for the case of a damaged print(s) in transit. So for such a small run, and a massive print, I think collectors who were able to snag one, lucked out on this one!

Comparing this print to OG's that don't look like it, and are half the size, isn't a fair comparison. I know the Chem Trails canvases (30x40), were in the ballpark of 7-10K (USD).

And then there were 29. Sorry about your luck EBT

And I agree. I've gotten my fair share of damaged prints from galleries as well. It's terrible and unacceptable, that they don't seem to grasp the concept of how to properly pack a print. It's a really, really, easy thing to do.
