Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by darren433 on Dec 2, 2010 20:06:58 GMT 1, For what is essentially a beautiful original Swoon piece on wood, $3k is a steal. Swoon is one of less than a handful of current street artists who is guaranteed to be in major museum collections for years to come.

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by Andy'77 on Dec 2, 2010 20:18:35 GMT 1, Was hoping for a bit cheaper to be honest, I realise how awesome these will be but unfortunately these are higher than I can afford to pay. Oh well.

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by RPM on Dec 2, 2010 20:32:27 GMT 1, I keep looking at one piece in particular, hoping against all hope, that somehow the price will be reduced or I will receive a call from a long lost family member notifying me that I've suddenly come into some unexpected money. I have a feeling I am seriously going to regret this 6 months from now, but unfortunately I just can't allow myself to drop the hammer ...

P.S. Paper Monster, if you happen to be reading this and want to work out installment payments (as I know many galleries are often willing to do), hit me up and perhaps we can work something out

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by snausages on Dec 3, 2010 0:25:37 GMT 1, Some of these are really nice.
For what's almost an original piece by an artist whose collected by the MOMA, Brklyn Museum etc. I think $2-3000 for these are an ok price and totally worth it if you really love it. But buying a Swoon wasn't a high priority for me and like everyone else I love a deal, if they were $2000 wood and the paper pieces $1500 I might have bit.

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by My Name is Frank on Dec 3, 2010 11:21:52 GMT 1, Very refreshing to see such a thoughtful and beautiful edition from Swoon. One of the finest editions I have ever seen from any street artist, so much work and time has gone into each and every one of them.

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by afroken on Dec 3, 2010 11:30:32 GMT 1, I decided against buying number 10 in the end. They are very beautiful but they are prints, and expensive ones at that. Perhaps if Paper Monster hadn't revealed that they had not only printed them but also did all the cutting, and that the artist simply assembled them then I might have been persuaded. I understand everyone's comments about them being 'like' originals but I don't want to spend this kind of money on something that looks like an original and at best can be described as a unique multiple. If they had been $500 less then it probably would have swung me.

I hear what you are saying V, but I am not sure these vary that much from what Swoon does for her originals. Nearly all her originals are prints (woodblock print on Mylar, screen print on fabrics, craft paper etc). Its what she does. She might even have these printed and cut by a third party or her team?
For me these are pretty much Swoon originals. They are also very beautiful and yes I am contemplating. Like you $500 cheaper and I would not even be thinking about it.

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by afroken on Dec 3, 2010 12:30:04 GMT 1, I think there is a significant difference between a hand painted or stained wood block (which by definition is very hand made and personal) and a letterpress print (which is machined). It's just my opinion of course and something that can be debated endlessly. At the end of the day the real sticking point for me is price.

Can't argue V with that, a lino-block print will have more of a human element to it but she also produces screen print originals on mixed media. Anyway its the price I am stuck on also so I guess we agree on that bit.

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by gilsteph on Dec 4, 2010 15:33:20 GMT 1, I agree the prices were a little on the high side but they were beautiful and striking too! Also this is the description of the one I bought.....sounds like more of an original than a print to me (but I am biased!)
This piece is built on a bright construction paper printed with a shell pattern as a base, collaged with tissue paper to balance it out.
Dimensions: 20 x 29 Inches.
Letterpress Print on Yatsuo B25 Kraft Paper. Relief Print on Magnani Arturo Stationary Weight Cut Paper. Mixed Media on Paper.
Signed, Swoon 2010

Something tells me her work will start to dry up soon though, she seemed a lot less interested in the commercial madness last time I met her in London, just tired of it all. Hopefully she'll concentrate on her street work more.
