There's also a big interview with Futura about that show in the next edition of Juxtapoz.

We have decided to release a few un-numbered but signed editions prints to an exclusive price of 5.000 NOK / aprox $590.
I assume these will go fast. Auction house, and webshop link bellow
Shop

Has it just doubled in price? I looked 2 days ago and I'm sure it was about 6,500 Nok.

You shouldn't suddenly release more prints outside of the editioned 100 because of increased demand for the print. You should have made the edition size larger to begin with....

Futura, Martha Cooper, Sandra Chevrier, Martin Whatson, Isaac Cordal and every other person in the set donated the image and prints to help finance the Nuart festival towards getting works on the street. We raised $200 000 and invested over $50 000 of our own finance to do this. Some of the artists signed the overruns, the gallery exists to raise money for the festival. Both are not for profit.
So you'd be ..errrm, wrong. Have a wonderfully positive day ;-)

It's a good point, some of the artists signed overruns as they knew it was for a good cause, but yeah, maybe they shouldn't be for sale and just be gifted instead.

So you'd be ..errrm, wrong. Have a wonderfully positive day ;-) a) none of that changes the fact that, like someone mentioned before, overrun should have been numbered and labeled as such. the ambiguity of the most recent offering of "leftover prints" leaves the door open for RPG to print as many as they want to keep making money. Some people collect for money, some for love of art, and others, like myself; a little bit of both. I buy pieces I like but with financial considerations in mind when doing so....I don't want to shell out for something only to see it's value diluted by more and more released. without labeling/numbering who knows how many will be doled out. b) your statement never proved any of what I said to be wrong. doesn't matter where the money ends up going, this is still a grub for money...just one that can be marketed better because "oh, it's for charity." a) Just spoke to them, they're gonna print a million extra and sell them for 50p. You're little "collecting for money" business in flippaville is doomed to failiure ;-)

I think the real value in this print is the perspective it provides on US militarism and the country's position in the current world order from an artist that left the first wave of graffiti to serve in the US military and then returned to be a key figure in the Golden Age of NY graffiti. That isn't affected by the number of prints produced and personally I think money just obscures the true value. Just my 2c worth.

You're little "collecting for money" business in flippaville is doomed to failiure ;-) Your reading skills are clearly sub-par. It's on ! and apologies if I sound condescending here, but you know, this culture really isn't about you and the few quid you might gain or lose if Futura signs a few extra prints. For us, it's about bringing art out of institutions, challenging the cultural hegemony, placing work in local communities and hopefully, through workshops and education programs, inspiring others to do the same. It's a little shining light in an otherwise fucked up world. Yes, prints are part of it, and of course there are bottom feeding parasites like yourself who buy to flip, (pretty much every thread of yours is a flip), and yes, we understand this is a way to build from 50 quid prints to 500 quid prints and hopefully a few canvas down the line, who knows maybe you really do like some of the values and ethics exspoused in the work you flip but you need the extra cash. But honestly, don't "project" your own money grubbing self interest onto others who may, in fact do, have other reasons they're involved in this fascinating dynamic new movement in grass roots visual art culture.
PS : The Nuart boxset worked out at 50 quid a print, that's Sandra, Futura, Martin Whatson, Martha Cooper, Isaac Cordal, Dotdotdot, for 50 quid. Hardly a money grubbing exercise now is it hey. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
PPS : We really do value everyone who supports both the gallery and the festival for whatever reason, but if it's for any of the reasons above, we value you a little bit more.
Peace.
