David Shrigley โข Kindness, by froncz on Sept 6, 2018 11:54:29 GMT 1, I think it's an OK-ish print. Better than most of his recent releases. IMO only Be Nice and Pretty Thoughts were better this year. If I had a spare 500 quid and a free morning, I would try. But my art fund is kind of depleted atm and it's not that great. Hate tiered releases and phone bookings.
To me there is a big difference between great Shirgley prints that I dig (Be Nice and Pretty Thoughts kinda fall into that category) and meh/OK ones - this still falls into the latter category.
Still surprised at the price point though - entry at 500/600 (VAT) for a Shrigley print is really low, from what you are saying there was interest even at tier 3.

David Shrigley โข Kindness, by shy on Sept 6, 2018 12:03:16 GMT 1, my gut is that this will not sell out...similar to "Don't" but "Don't" is a much better print IMO.
I guess if one was able to buy it at tier 1 or maybe even tier 2 pricing then that would be OK but above that it's a big "No thanks" for me.
I am disappointed, being a long time DS collector and huge supporter I am surprised at how many prints he is releasing so quickly... as if DS is trying to capitalize on his success in a very fast and hard manner! Like slapping his collectors and emptying our wallets like the "fast and furious"...
but not me... I will pass Go and collect $200

These sat there for a day.

He is a funny fella and that is his jive, but Cecily paints better.

I'm sure they are wonderful and no denying that Cecily paints better, but art is not all about technique and is of course all about personal opinion. Hey, I'm not even averse to a giclee.

David Shrigley โข Kindness, by met on Sept 7, 2018 0:16:23 GMT 1, Hereโs another  
The overall composition here, including the arrangement of the letters, don't work for me.
__________
For those who aren't yet aware, the sculptural version of this piece can be bought on Amazon.
While it lacks the "Fucking Ace" text, a simpler appearance actually looks better to my eyes. Less busy.
Amazon's description strangely doesn't even mention David Shrigley's name. Instead, it cryptically refers to "COLT XL". Some intern might soon get fired for that error.
Given there's also no reference to edition size, the sculpture is presumably an open edition.
But for the bargain price of ยฃ28.76, is there any point in thinking twice? Carpe diem.
