Id say swoon's prices are fair, although this edition is too large for my taste. I would hardly call Swoon an overnight senation though, and if thats what you're implying you are simply uneducated on the subject. Id argue she is in more (quantity of and quality) collections than Banksy and has a brighter, longer future ahead of her. Call me nuts.

Swoon ๐บ๐ธ Contemporary Art โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by robertlondon on Jan 4, 2008 4:47:25 GMT 1, Is she running at a print per month yet? It seems so.
I'm a Swoon fan but I feel her choice of image for print releases is disappointing. Yeah it's a nice worthy story but increased price, large edition, possible red edition and a so so image???
She has so many better images she could release...
Just my opinion.

I think they both are great for their own reasons... I hate to say anyone is going to "outlast" someone else, you hear banksy/warhol comparisons all of the time. And when I think of Swoon, I think of someone like Van Gogh or Gauguin who just has this total contemporary bohemian thing going, and who decides to throw the money she gets at these cool causes. Maybe the world will figure her out in 20 years, maybe 100, but who cares because we already have! To summarize, I am hoping they BOTH continue to be successful for years to come (even though I don't own any Banksys)!

Overnight sensation? You are kidding right. She has been doing street work since around 1999. Check out this NY Times article written in 2004
www.nytimes.com/2004/07/09/nyregion/09street.html?ex=1247112000&en=87b164f0ec2b3c36&ei=5090
Anyway re pricing Swoon Helena's have been going for between $500 and $700 on the bay so this print is priced at market value. Given that it is a worthy cause why shouldn't justseeds sell at market value? It may take longer to sell out but they still get the money rather than a flipper.

Swoon ๐บ๐ธ Contemporary Art โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by slowmo on Jan 4, 2008 10:00:27 GMT 1, The thing that puts me off nearly all of swoons work in print form is that most of them are a small cutting of an original, just a detail of a piece. Really find it quite annoying, why cant she make all prints complete images of originals?
I know its not all of them, but an awful lot are.
*mod* Forgot to add that I really appreciate where she puts the money made from these though, its a great way to give to charity

I know what you mean slowmo. What I like about swoon is that all the prints are something slightly different. Helena was on graph type paper, this one is on a book end, the paper monster ones were on chipboard and mylar etc. Even the BRP one, although a screeprint on paper still has very interesting personal touches to it.
I gather swoon has also done some etchings for BRP - those should be worth waiting for.
And not all of the prints have been as you describe. The BRP print is pretty much a full image as was the paper monster print on mylar.

Thanks for the heads-up.
I've got Swoon's Helena and love it... the detail and finishing are incredible.
I'm going to pull the trigger on this one as well... although it's a large addition... if it's anything like the Helena, that won't matter.
IMO... people will be gutted that they missed out on these hand finished prints in the future.

Hopefully I may have a little time to think about it....

To be fair to her, I have now seen a few bits she's done that make me go more than 'meh' - the fish on the wood was quite nice. But why would anyone want this one on the wall?

Bad Timing for me on this one.. I need to raise a little cash, but if these are still available in February, maybe I'll grab one.
What's the "all sales on these prints are final" mean? it comes damaged and it's tough titty said the kitty and the milk went dry?
