Ai WeiWei vinyl banner portraits., by Lunch Special on Jun 20, 2018 16:51:34 GMT 1, Not much of a personal connection between the production and the artist imo Vinyl laser cut and printed banners edition of 500? easy pass. seems more like an expression of commercial advertising to me

Ai WeiWei vinyl banner portraits., by Happy Shopper on Jun 20, 2018 17:37:02 GMT 1, It's interesting just to see which sell fastest!
I'd have thought the young jewish girl would be most popular. It's a nice, classic looking photo.
But it seems Freud is running away with it at the moment!

The Freud image is definitely the best one and I am pretty sure we will see it in the next few months at auctions as the Hand's Artist.
Freud: already 71 sold (out of 500) in less than 24 hours

I don't think you will need to go to an auction house, I suspect these will be sitting on ebay for quite a while.

Unlikely perhaps, but if they've not produced them I'd say it might be the sensible option for them

Wouldn't even buy for $500

But you'd also think they'd see the posters (which I think are nicer), sell for just a few hundred ยฃ.
These are great in a gallery, or as they were used, but not great for most collectors who want something thought provoking perhaps but also attractive on their walls.

According to the original information they provided the works were available for 7 days only. It will be interesting to see if they actually do yank them from eBay today.

Having seen the originals on the streets of NYC a number of times, there were some really good images that they could have gone with. However, by poorly choosing the images and perhaps getting greedy with the edition sizes produced they have really screwed up - I would be amazed if they have even made their cost back
