Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by Hairbland on Oct 17, 2017 21:43:52 GMT 1, If the thread of a happening art event hadn't been moved to a subthread everyone would know what was going on. There was a link to register to be notified of sale start WITH ALL info as to how many in edition, etched signature and so on.
The print (offset litho) will sell out shortly, the hand maybe by day's end. Whining to the Public Art Fund would be lame. All proceeds go to charity. Based on launch time Asia will largely miss out on this release.

Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by Rouen Cathedral on Oct 17, 2017 21:46:52 GMT 1, so basically the sculpture is 'plate signed' FFS all sculptures are "plate signed" if you want to call it that. Stop being ridiculous.ย
Actually no they are not.
Thereโs multiple ways to do a sculpture and multiple ways to get a signature on one.

Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by Cool User Name on Oct 17, 2017 21:51:03 GMT 1, Got the print as soon as they went up, was a bit shocked at shipping cost to uk though. Had a think on the sculpture and decided to get one as well. This is gonna be an an expensive month or two with the POW sale and Geddes print, plus Iโm sure there will be some other xmas releases.

I couldn't agree more. Ai Weiwei is a pillar of hope for the art world and the gesture to make works available and affordable to the public is a gift. With all the dreck out there, this is the chance to support a foundation that hosts and funds some of the largest public installations in the world.
Whining to the Public Art Fund would be lame. All proceeds go to charity. But is it etched, plate signed, hand scribed, done with a chisel....and how many in the edition!!!! I couldn't agree more.

Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by samo on Oct 17, 2017 21:59:02 GMT 1, Also posted this in the other thread a bit confusing we now have two threads about the same subject...
I just had a confirmation from Matchfire the company that sells these editions on behalf of Ai Weiwei and Public Art Fund. In response to my question if these editions come with a COA:
Good afternoon,
These items will be supplied with a COA. They are not signed by the artist himself.
Regards,
Matchfire
Didn't ask about the edition size because several people on this forum already did.
For enquiries about these editions you can contact them at the following email address:
aiweiwei@matchfire.com

Good evening,
Please be assured that there are only 1,000 of this print. Unfortunately, some buyers canceled their orders, so we had to manually add those back into eBayโs inventory. It appears that more than 1,000 have sold, but please be assured that that is not the case and there are only 1,000 of these being produced.
Regards,
Miranda
On a separate email she dates that they come with a COA.

this_is_katyaHi All. Iโm helping Public Art Fund run this event from the eBay side and want to explain why youโre seeing a number higher than 1,000. Our counter counts transactions and not available quantity. We had a few order cancellations throughout the day (around 10) for various reasons and had to return those items to the eventโs inventory. However, the way our product is built, we canโt subtract from the counter. The items we returned were later purchased by others, thus youโre seeing the 1,000+ transactions. I can assure you, the Public Art Fund is only creating 1,000 prints and 1,000 sculptures. Hope that answers your question. Happy to clarify if needed.
Sorry for the double post ๐
A merge would be the solution I guess

Aside from my childlike comment early which I completely opened myself up for ridicule... I am former publisher for over 21 years and managed a tech blog with audience reaching over 1 million unique visitors per month with a bounce rate of 22%. That being said, itโs hard to manage a blog!!! Also, not knowing the Daniel Silk business model, I doubt he makes any revenue from this blog. Any banner ads sold probably go to funding the servers and keep the blog up and runnning. So instead of complaining about the sequence of the blog chain, have a little compassion and be thankful that Daniel has the PASSION to keep this site going. Better yet, contribute as little as a 1 pound per month via PayPal to ensure we are an art community have a voice (if you havenโt already).
