With all this neg feedback, this will probs be a release /200. Still not buying.

I dont think its poeple hoping for a lower run, i think the opinions shared are valid and state many unfortunate facts. Whats unfortunate is Sandra is a talented artist by far however an artist that will remain prevelant for decades to come most likely not, especially with stunts like this, arguing that artists like geddes or james jean do the same is a far cry, as they have been honing their Craft for over 20 yrs plus and have offered so much more over the span of their career, their work appreciated over time and gained recognition based on trchnique and merit, i do not mean to speak ill of anyone artist or about his or her work but when you have a situation like this, one would think its being done for tbe fans to obtain an affordable piece but in all actuallity shes tied in specifically with this gallerie primarilly and $290 for a glicee is almost an insult, latley all images seem to be glicees and seem to have no effort behind the selection of the image. Taking advantage or being dean collection approved does not male a print worth price guaging, every seasoned collector will tell you to buy what you like and to avoid buying for investment but this is being priced to accomadate not her secondary market price but her current hype value and this rings true on many levels. Not to discredit her work and her talent but i dont see this edition going over a 1000, although im sure they are hoping, as the profit would be 5 fold the printing cost for something this size and quality...just my two cents...in the words of kevin o'leary from shark tank, take this one out back and shoot it, im out..

JP gets on here, I wonder if he's got any comments on this.


side note; loved the Kevin O'Leary quote.

Thank you, i couldnt have worded it better so i thought that was tge right quote for the occasion

whether you think of it as an investment or not, you still don't want to feel as if you're getting shafted.

Behave. Really? That's some inflation

Well I'm not, because I would never buy this.

But $290 for an open edition?  C'mon.


the goal of an open is to give everyone a shot and grow your fan base.  but you're creating artificial exclusivity by pricing it so high.  you can't have both, it just doesn't work.

It's not an open edition. It's still a limited edition. Once the time period is over and they are taken off sale The amount sold will determine the edition size. A open edition is different all together 

for all intents and purposes it's open.  72 hours is ample time for any SC fan to pick one up.

Just because it's timed doesn't make it an open edition.

its a timed release of a limited edition print.

an open edition is somthing totally different.

You guys are awfully hard to please.

When she releases a limited edition print, it gets snapped up within seconds and people complain about not being able to get one.
When she does a release that allows everyone to get one, people complain that she is simply doing a cash grab.

Someone has said that she is trying to create artificial exclusivity... But clearly that is not the case, as every print of hers sells out almost instantly. The exclusivity is real.

I understand that this print is a glicee but people just paid $1100 for a glicee of hers at Art Basel. It is a large and beautiful print in my opinion. I'm sure the quality will be top notch. As we found out recently, when she tried to do a large screen print and it wasn't exactly perfect, people were really unhappy. So rather than go down that route again, she came up with, in my opinion, a great solution. A very large print at a price that can be afforded by her collectors and enough time for anyone who wants one to get one. What other piece of hers can you get under $300?
Retnas Braddock Tiles prints trade hands at over $500 now.... I would much rather have this new print from Sandra on my wall.

didnt read this whole mess. but Audrey Kawasaki has been doing timed releases for years and i dont recall there being a lot of dissatisfaction with that. . . buy what you like people.. dont have to drag down an artist that is working hard to further her art and her career. and you cannot really fully appreciate the cost of flying to shows and putting on shows and all the related expenses..etc..etc.. They need money to do all these things so we can show up all chill and have a drink and think it all looks so simple. its a lot of work for the artist and all involved.. and i never question their right to bring in funds. so, again, buy or dont buy... simples.
