Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by randomname on Apr 22, 2014 18:19:02 GMT 1, Nee Nee in Braddock
$1,250.00
Signed Edition of 65 2014
22 x 31
Nee Nee in Braddock is an 8 color silk screen print on hand made paper. It is an adaptation of one of Swoon’s intricately carved linoleum block prints, depicting the streets and homes of Braddock, PA, a town where Swoon has been engaged in community based work since 2007.
All proceeds from this print will go towards Braddock Tiles, an artisanal ceramic studio designed to create jobs in an economically devastated area, while working to restore a former landmark building to it’s community as an arts, learning, and resource center.
*This paper, used by Swoon since 2007 is the last of it’s kind, as the artisan who created it passed away in 2014. Many respects to him and his craft. Here is some info about the paper maker and his paper: "Made by Mohammed Hussein Khagzi, these 100% jute papers are made using the most traditional Indian methods of papermaking. Single weight sheets are formed on a chapri (laid) mould, and are laminated together during the papermaking process to create heavier sheets. They are brushed onto exterior plaster walls to dry. A diluted starch solution is used with surface sizing and the sheets have been polished with an agate burnisher to a beautiful, soft sheen. Very beautiful and unusual. All neutral pH with 4 deckles."

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by Martin DK on Apr 22, 2014 18:20:32 GMT 1, Am I crazy or is there no indication of size anywhere?
It says 22 x 31, my guess is inches as that would be crazy small details if in centimeters.

I'm in the market for a swoon, but would rather hold off and spend a little more on a hand finished piece. Might be shooting myself in the foot as I'm sure future releases will be outrageous with her Brooklyn Museum installment.

Swoon 🇺🇸 Contemporary Art • Street Art • Art For Sale, by bullysonzx10r on Apr 24, 2014 20:34:59 GMT 1, If anyone is on the fence about the Monica print, I purchased one (The price was right, and I can't afford some of her more expensive pieces) and was pleasantly surprised that it came from Swoon's studio in Brooklyn, was numbered (I was 203 out of 250, so there have to be some more left) had the swoon imprint/ watermark on it, and on the back it had "Swoon" in pencil.
FWIW, I liked the image, and for it to come directly from Swoon's studio, be a limited numbered print, this was an awesome pick up. I'm going to frame it, so if she was the one who signed it, or an assistant just wrote her name, that's not really important to me because I don't plan to flip.
Hope this helps anyone who is possibly on the fence.

She is one of the artists i'm told is the artist of the future by a well know gallery in NY. That being said the same gallerist told me that Banksy was just fashionable and the artist of the day and it won't last and I should be buying Swoon.

LOL,
"Artist of the day". Maybe you should deal with a new gallery.

Perhaps you'll get more bids if the postage wasn't so high? (just my opinion)- good luck.

Personally I hate it when people try to rip me off with overblown postage to make extra money. Yep, me too. If you don't want to pay the fees, don't list it on ebay. To put a £70 premium on the postage is just mickey-taking |

I know a lot of buyers will check how much you paid for the postage if they can and look into getting a refund on the difference.

Sorry to be pedantic FUSShop, but... the envelope says 'PP 34/44' not the edition of 40 you mention.
I never knew there were this many PP's on top of the usual Special Edition, I assume there's a larger edition of AP's as well?
