Which result? Amoako or Banksy?

Amoako Boafo print, by Winter on Dec 16, 2020 15:43:15 GMT 1, Prices of Amoako originals have very little to do with the price of this edition. Totally different market. They really have priced this very high then there's shipping and 5% import duty and framing to factor in. Shame he didn't use a brighter yellow in the background colour.

Amoako Boafo print, by jenko on Dec 16, 2020 15:43:59 GMT 1, $5500 and not that big. A lot of white paper there; image looks more like 8”x12” or so.

Amoako Boafo print, by medichead on Dec 16, 2020 15:53:38 GMT 1, In theory, I feel like the actual pricing is about right.
The problem is the image is weak, flat, dull. Far from his best. And the size of the border around the printing makes no sense to me.
It will sell out in seconds, obviously.

Exactly this. Why didn’t they make it bigger and use colour somewhere?

Because they are greedy fucks. Another day another gallery launching an editions section to fleece collectors who follow hype too late.

Amoako Boafo print, by Brittany's Urban on Dec 16, 2020 16:28:51 GMT 1, At least, it creates a selection in who is able to buy or not.
I was willing to go, found it much more attractive in the video but this pricing is simply totally out of my reach!

Agree about the video. I was completely luke warm on the image until I watched the video. Maybe I'm just easily impressed.
Edit: This is not to say that I would pay anywhere close to $6k for this. Hell no. There's something very sketchy about artists who are crushing it at auction selling works that were painted in the last 12 months.

Amoako Boafo print, by travispete on Dec 16, 2020 17:16:26 GMT 1, is it possible rather than doing an straight ecommerce sale they want to gather a list of those who "registered" and finalize the sale manually....rather than inadvertently selling to dealers? wishful thinking perhaps.

That sounds like it's the case. I would be very surprised if a gallery like MI would just well to F5ers willy-nilly. |

I'd say more emails will be going out, and no not for me at $5,500

They give you two hours to buy, then when you click in again it says sold out. I'd say more emails will be going out, and no not for me at $5,500 |
