Swoon πΊπΈ Contemporary Art β’ Street Art β’ Art For Sale, by The Observer on Feb 24, 2017 20:31:37 GMT 1, I guess he forgot to take into account the "facts?" Is it a bit arrogant to believe that your truth is everyone's as well? Not meaning to be arrogant, just trying to encourage critical thinking in a provocative way. Andy Warhol, dead 30 years ago this week, would no doubt approve. In my opinion, touting this release as a great deal because of its price compared to her other more expensive work is an odd argument, hence my apples and oranges comment. Much like I think this release compared to her unsigned tiles and Braddock prints is a better value. I like to view art, talk about it, and buy it. The original thought posted by someone was as to its value, I thought an unfair comparison and was challenged, to which I challenged back. I would do the same with the same language over a pint.
I appreciate the thought. I am admittedly a noob and trying to understand how people think of value in art. For me it's around the message behind the work, how much I appreciate it visually (and the size of the work), and finally, the artist momentum or gravitas. That being said some pieces I believe should be highly valued are not and vice versa. If I really want something I'll buy it, but I dont always understand the price so I sincerely appreciate your perspective and will mark it down as a good lesson. Thank you.

Swoon πΊπΈ Contemporary Art β’ Street Art β’ Art For Sale, by trees on Feb 26, 2017 8:25:36 GMT 1, Not sure where I got the number 5 from. I guess because there were 5 images in the store. I didn't get the email you guys are referring too. All the examples on the store are so different. So it'll be interesting to see what everyone ends up with.
Seems sketchy to keep increasing the Hf edition size. But I guess that's just the art world. At least I feel good supporting an artist doing cool stuff like the heliotrope foundation.

I received it yesterday, but didn't really feel anything in looking at it. I packed it back up, and will probably look at it this weekend to see if my feelings change. But if anyone who isn't a cheat or jerk, is interested and based in the US, let me know.
Did you receive tracking or did it just show up?

I received an email from lsc a week or so ago with an update,something like...
swoon expects to return to NY from Haiti next week, so the he versions should go out by the end of the month. Sorry for the wait it will be worth it.
So I guess she's probably hand finishing them now

Just got an email about it saying the print is stuck in customs over in London and I have to pay an import fee. Now I know how all you feel overseas ordering prints from the states.

Swoon πΊπΈ Contemporary Art β’ Street Art β’ Art For Sale, by freezy on Apr 13, 2017 21:57:46 GMT 1, I just received my hand finished print. I have to say... I expected more. The only addition to the print was pink spray paint. I really thought that there would be some hand painted elements or additional silk screening or stenciling. The examples that appeared on the site during the sale were all more interesting than what I received. When I wrote to LSC and asked when the print would be delivered, they said "it would be worth the wait." I had somewhat high expectations based on their statement and that it is Swoon. I am honestly a bit let down. The hand finishing on my print couldn't have taken longer than a few seconds.

Probably didn't take long but I do think it looks really unique and it is going to fit perfectly with my homes style. I like it a lot.
