I don't see it so much as a mess. There was opportunity to purchase Linea on the secondary market at more digestible prices earlier on, as was pointed many times in this thread. I agree it does seem to be the most commonly resold of his prints, and that might have something to do with the fact it is a lenticular print. Had it been screen printed the market might have behaved in a more similar way to the others. But I personally like the fact it is lenticular, the idea of the trees being cut as you walk past justifies the process in my view, it wasn't an arbitrary reason to make it that way but an imaginative one. I'm relieved to be able to keep it. I think people who want one, won't be disappointed if they get one at current prices. The quality is good and is an unusual artwork in many ways.

are you sure case because aren't you the person who has had the most notorious long search for a 'Meadow' because you weren't prepared to pay over £500 (flipper prices) at the time, and the value just went further out of reach with each consecutive sale. So for someone so unwilling to foot the little extra amount required, do you not see the contradiction in being an advocate of higher prices.

I think people wallowing in sanctimony should shut up and move on.

Can't believe you are saying how disappointing the thread is...thereby continuing the thread...thereby putting it at the top of the new post list.

People on this forum understand how prices work and that art is subjective. It's only worth what someone will pay for it. WE GET IT. We've heard it a million times.

If I was buying a piece of art on here. And I wasn't aware they were much cheaper elsewhere. I would be very grateful to members who posted that fact IF a seller was trying his luck for more than market.

... another cup of tea and a biscuit is needed ... me thinks

Sorry to open this messy thread back up but thought you made a good point.

The real collectors and fans ARE keeping them.

Max could offer the new print to those first with photo or video dated proof (e.g. include that days local newspaper or a word of Max's choosing in the image) before they can purchase, to show they still have the last print for at least a year or 2 in order for them to be able to buy the new one...if they like the image that is.

Anyone who doesn't still have the previous one misses out on the presale option for that print and has to try his or her luck with the rest of the people trying on release day.

If they want to sell the print at a later date (people do occasionally change their mind on an image) then in order to keep their place in the presale then they have to give Max first option on passing the print on to a fan of his choosing at cost price + true shipping cost.

If this happened then a lot of the prints might be getting in the right hands without people having to overpay.

Max should be remunerated for the hassle obviously:)

Pejac linea .. £1350 cash , still in tube . London meet up .

That's was quick

Someone just got a steal of a deal given the recent sales.

True!

Still need one. .

Well sold, we'll bought

Yeah I picked one up last year for 600£ thought I'd payed to much. Does look great framed though.

You'd have to pay me to hang one.

I reckon less of an issue with these lenticular prints than a paper print. They were quite heavy and essentially made of plastic, and when removed from the tube flattened very easily, I think it would still be the case if removed from the tube now.
