Swoon ๐บ๐ธ Contemporary Art โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by jlee on Apr 13, 2013 17:51:42 GMT 1, Apparently they are addressing the issue head on.. Wonder if this will be followed by 50 refunds.
Hello,
This is Kristine Virsis, Swoon's studio manager here in Brooklyn. I'm reaching out to let you know in advance about a mishap that occurred with the recent Swoon release, Silvia Elena, that you purchased from Justseeds, and offer my sincerest apologies.
This print was signed as an edition of 150, however when I built the web entry I made a mistake and stated it was an edition of 100, accidentally misrepresenting the edition size, and I feel terrible about this. It was a mistake on my part and in no way related to the folks over at Justseeds or Swoon. I also understand the severity of a misrepresented edition, and I hope you'll understand it happened by error and not purposeful in any way.
In an attempt to rectify the situation, we have decided to stop production of the print at 100, so only edition numbers 1/150 through 100/150 will ever exist. I would like to offer to mail you a certificate of authenticity from Swoon studio stating such. If you would like to share your mailing address I will be sending those out in the coming weeks.
The folks at Justseeds will help you if you decide to return the print and receive a reimbursement, just email store@justseeds.org.
Please don't hesitate to be in touch if you have any questions or thoughts, and once again I offer my sincerest apologies.
Best,
Kristine Virsis

They can't just print another 100 or so in (say) July if it takes their fancy surely? That's not limited, it's open if we fancy it?

It was supposed to be 150, the prints are numbered x/150 but they stopped printing them at number 100 as that's what he wrongly sold the edition as. The certificate will mention this cock up. (that's how I read it anyhoo - bearing in mind that I have had several beers.)

I also read it that they will be numbered out of 150, but the documents will show 101-150 don't exist. Is that right?

My understanding is that there are only 100 and there will only be 100 (even though the print is #d/150).
They offered full refund to anyone still unhappy.

Hopefully anyone else in the UK are a little luckier. There is no certificate with the print, but I believe this will be sent out separately once they know what number your edition is. I've sent them an email regarding this but no reply yet.

As a big fan of Swoon's work, i wanted to see what you guys thought about her "Ben" edition - they are all unique editions of 36, hand finished collages, and a lot are really big (30 x 40 inches)..
What do you think about these pieces and their prices?
Thanks in advance!

I have one of them, and I am really happy with it:
Ben
It look really great in the flesh, lot of details, and the wood is a fantastic support (IMHO).
Please note that the edition is now 35 unique piece.... the first one that I ordered (also on wood) arrived damaged (bee nest inside the wood !), after some discussion with Swoon's studio, they offered me to exchange it (against very little extra $) with this one (bigger format). Fair deal and good "after sales service"

More seriously, I think they were not cheap. But in my very own case, I was pretty lucky. As mentioned early, got a "special deal" after a lot of trouble... but in the end that made the pricing very fair for me.
And again, this piece has some "waaaaoooow" comment from everybody visiting my flat... Can't say the same from a lot of other pieces ;-)

I would say this or the Thalassa relase from paper monster are all a great buy for the price.

I've got a significant framing bill ahead of me....so I'm selling this to fund it. In an edition of 14 it's in pristine condition, I'll post unframed if required at cost. Ideally looking for cost which was ยฃ140.00. I've also got a Swoon Silvia Elena which I'd also sell at cost which once I got caned for the import duty was about ยฃ100.
I'm based in Essex and am as reliable as an old Saab.

The debacle of the 100 or 150 edition is not mentioned anymore. It just says Edition of 150. This presumably is because they didn't sell out after the furore. I have a certificate saying that this edition is an edition of 100, and perhaps they haven't changed it.
Anyway if people missed out last time they can now grab one.
