That's quite a statement - "biggest release of the year", hmmm I think not!!

Itl be the same old same old from DS.

Price points will be interesting, I think we will see a further hike, just not sure how much

I look forward to seeing yours framed up. No way I’m parting with that kind of money for a set.

I doubt any surprises here. Won't be cheaper than "Be Nice", and multiply x 4

"Pretty thoughts" looks great! Fantastic print and captures much of his essence These always looks so much better live than in pictures as well.

That is correct and it's high

My comment wasn’t necessarily about this release. I just see regularly on here people talking up the price of unreleased art. It’s a bit like being on a football forum and hoping your side lose; it just seems odd.

Occasionally amusing, drawn like a child. That's my view. Following trends is not my thing. Shrigley must be a cool cat cos his art is wack!

Very true. That "child" thing is just nonsense. Who would criticize Miller for "my child could write something on a book". No child could do the fire in "I am currently.." etc etc, Its his style to make it look simple and enjoyable!

I might be completely wrong but it seems that there were quite a few releases recently and the prices keep increasing. Do you guys think this trend will continue? Not talking about the prices but about the number of releases. 

I think these are shrigleys best release yet

And his credentials far outwhey the likes of Harland Miller and other print edition ‘darlings’ on this forum who’s current prices will make this set look cheap. Infact I would go so far to say, find me a better CV. (I’m just going to leave it here so people can actually see what he has achieved in his career)

Having never seen the full images of these prints, I hereby proclaim that this is literally, most definitely, the best print set of the century. I own 10 of his prints and 9 are waiting at auction houses. In my next post I'll post his entire CV and also a Letter of Recommendation from Pulitzer Prize winning art critic, Jerome Saltz.

PS I see that someone has already posted the CV of Sir Davidoff Shrigley the Third of Avonlea, and I thank whoever did that.

No one buys at 6k, expect 99% people paid nowhere near that! Secondary prices of "Be Nice" sub 3k on the secondary so not sure why you`d paid 6k?

Will be fun on Thursday to read all the usual hype on his release`s....

"This will not be here tomorrow". Sold out 5800. Another Task etc...his best works have been slowly and steadily increasing in prices. Thats the best sign of not being a hype, unlike what happened to Invader. The only gallery I know have Life is Fantastic is 6000+GBP. Once hangup had one at 5250; sold. The are plenty of originals available if people are aware. When going to auction:
