but yea, as long as it says 'reserved' rather than 'sold out' that means they are still available but in someone else's cart

So thanks to Crisol...I just didn't see that thread first...I saw this one from Nobokov...so thanks to anyone and everyone who announces new prints.

Keep it in the tube or put it in a plan chest probably.

That does look nice with the minimal frame.

JR au Louvre, La Pyramide, 12 Juin 2016, 5H55 is a pleasant enough image. But I don't find it sufficiently interesting to hang. In my view, it's more suited for inclusion in a coffee-table book.
If the lithograph were given to me as a gift, I'd rather spend the money required for framing on a trip to Paris instead โ to revisit the Louvre.
__________
Query for those who made a purchase today:
Are you also big fans of the museum itself, or does the appeal of the print perhaps lie more with the beauty of the architecture and/or with JR's wider work as an artist?

It's one of the most aesthetically pleasing images that he's released as a print and is afforable. If you like an artist, sometimes you just want something of that artist's.
I like how he and Liu Bolin took a modern design element and flipped it back into the past. It gets me thinking of my own past and the what ifs of life.
I recently saw on Instagram a picture of the previous louvre edition framed in an antique style golden frame which seemed very fitting and beautiful.

Image is average at best. I sent a work WhatsApp group all the details and the all bought cos JR is a big name and itโs obvious he can be flipped for loads. Itโs took some longer than others but itโs a good image.

JR doesnโt flip, for the most part.
And I bought because it is aesthetically pleasing and I love his Louvre projects - I think they are incredibly memorable. I also own the earlier louvre print (daytime one) and it is gigantic to the point where I canโt find a good place to hang in my new living space so this will be a nice replacement. Itโs a nice little print, and definitely one of the better images for a JR print.

JRโs work at the louvre is quite superb if you take into account a little history.
IM Peiโs design was quite controversial and this work is spot on in continuing commentary of just that. The juxtaposition of the modern and traditional architecture in which JRโs work instantly calls to that historical debate.
The trompe l'oeil style, the color vs black and white, the composition is perfection in my eyes.
Referring to this as a coffee table image that isnโt worth the cost of a frame is a grossly inaccurate understanding of the work in my opinion.
