You mention the price increase - are you comparing these prices to the Melbourne statuettes or was the Boston statuette series previously released? This is the first time I've seen them available.

Melbourne were ยฃ40 originally, then ยฃ80. So Boston are being released at nearly double.

They are great at $50 a piece but at the end of the day they are just plastic replicas of his bronze statuettes, (which Iโm a big fan of). Donโt get me wrong, they are cool, just super pricey now.

I'm sure he's got all his buyers bent over a barrell with a gun to their heads and their thumbs on the buy button. Why are you so against the artist getting paid for their work?
Who needs to explain anything? It's art and it has a price tag. Either you're a fan or you're not a big enough one

if you're buying something direct from the artist for 50% of the fair market value that sounds like a killer deal. Plus you get to support the artist directly and not some *dirty flippers*.
People that complain must not like julian very much. Don't understand the hate for an artist wanting to put food on the table. We can't all be high falutin' art collectors with deep pockets, some folks have to make a living.
Price pump... L O L
WON'T SOMEONE PLEEEEEASE CONSIDER THE ART COLLECTORS OVER THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES? I AM OUTRAGED TO PUT FOOD ON JULIAN OPIE'S TABLE TIME TO CANCEL THIS GREEDY SCUMBAG

The problem is paying for a MERCHANDISE item 3xtimes more since last year. I just consider silly that someone is paying 3x times+ more for the same thing I got last year from the same store. Why his works have not increased their prices 3x as well? Just because they saw that the majority of people can only afford the statuettes, so they just pump it to make an - unnecessary in my opinion - gain.
So what you're saying is you're against the artist receiving fair market value for their work. GOT IT
What do you have against this artist?
"Unnecessary" gain. Maybe you should go into business as an art pricing consultant and advise artists on what is "necessary" for their paychecks.

Is there a different way to interpret the English language there? Alright man, the money is yours and you do whatever you want with it. If you are happy of this price change and you are happy to pay for it, go ahead. Again, this is plastic merchandise/replica of his (real artwork/edition) statuettes. If the initial price last year was ยฃ150 I would have accepted it. Not like this as - for me - itโs unnecessary.
if you're unhappy about the price change as much as you seem to be, then clearly you are not happy for the artist making a living. That an unfortunate juxtaposition to the fandom you claim.

Ignoring the obvious hike, and appreciate they are what they are, but still a lovely item?
Cant put my finger on it, but look great, and a lovely example of this fella Opie's work?
I think on the Opie Shop somewhere he even says wanting to make his work more accessible to people that cant run to his prints, thats me right there, and still think ยฃ150 not excessive? If I wasn't under lock and key with art buying at the moment, can think of worst things available.
