Beautiful!

Its the dodos whatits

Everyone make sure they check with rocosg11 before purchasing this print. He must authorize all transactions having to do with Swoon (as the protector of all things Swoon).

I think it's a bit overpriced. Could easily see picking that up for a couple of hundred USD cheaper. The color is really nice tho, nicer than most of the other swoon prints I have seen.

Anyone know where I can get one of these?

Yeah, honestly if it was $500 I would be fine with it...$700 is a bit much.

This would be sold out by now if they priced it at $250. Shame on Papermonster. Their pricing is ridiculous. Almost all their prints are going for under cost on the secondary market, so that tells you something right there.

Riding on Banksy's Coattails?? One of them has been shown at MOMA and one hasn't. I think Swoon is riding just fine on her own.

Thank you

I think its Swoons best to date. I like the added color.

I was not making a corelation between her work and how much it is worth (the market) . I was simply pointing out that Swoon, as an artist, did not need Banksy to make her succesful. In addition, success is only measured by how much a print can be resold for on this forum.

Great looking image.

Of course you're right Thom that Swoon does not need Mr B to enjoy 'success'. However, you make a gross overstatement about this forum when you talk about how success is measured.

Read what people say in so many threads and you will find informed personal opinions about what people like and dislike about art. Look at the 'Get them out' and the 'Under £50' threads for starters and see how people enjoy their art regardless of resale print value.

Choe's secondary market print value for example has dropped considerably over the last few months. This does not detract from the fact that many people here love and respect his work and appreciate him as a successful artist.

It has to be said that with many things in modern culture, 'fickle' is the order of the day. May I respectfully suggest you get over it. As a music and art lover/obsessive I am occasionally frustrated by this too but there's simply f**k all I can do about it.

IMO this Swoon print is one of her best and as moving as Helena (especially in Pezlow's duck egg frame) but it costs more than I'm prepared to pay in order to have on my wall.

Just to add, I'm really glad I don't have blinds/curtains up as I have a veritable feast of moths and the like at my window. What's all that about?

I agree with you and scavos that this is one of her best prints to date. While I too think that print is priced on the high side, I bought it nonetheless because I really like the image (and use of color) as well as fact that the proceeds are going to a good cause. Although I'd love an original of this particular piece, I'm sure it would be very pricey depending on the size.
