What about for a sound proof dungeon of sorts, with no windows and a small pull light? Would they work for that? 

I can only speak to the Empresses as they’re extremely glossy in the non-glitter sections and way too shiny. I can see the whole room reflected. It seemed logical to make these with a matte finish. 

13.5 kg of aluminium??? That’s more than most bronze sculptures!!

How long would they have taken to sell
Out if they were editions of 100 ? Instantly I would
Predict

Suppose it’s like the little big space sculpture
plenty for everyone so zero meat on the bone for secondary market 
If he wants to do the cash grab thing now it’s his choice he’s earned the right 

They went for double cost so plenty of meat on the bone for those who picked them up ! The cost of these new works is prohibitively high so numbers won't be crazy and in reality ony 2 of then are worth having.

A signed limited edition Invader measuring 100cm x 100cm - that's something that's not been available before - these are good news.

Banksy x Heni next - the big Banksy cash grab is coming.

Ever since the crypto dudes and sneaker heads started getting their hands on urban art and contemporary art it's all gone down the drain. Invader hasn't even advertised this yet on his Instagram, perhaps because it creates a bit of embarrassment.

Gonna come in here and say - art is totally subjective. Don't listen to anyone who says it's a weak image if *you* like it. Roxy Music are incredible, and the cover is awesome. Whether or not the image is a good representation of it or not can be discussed til the end of time; for my money, Marilyn & Country Life are the best of the four. They are representations of *actual* rubik works. Country Life was on the cover of the Lazarides exhibition catalogue- someone else obviously thinks it has merit.

I hope you buy it & enjoy it on your wall! Btw I think "if there is something" is one of the greatest tracks of all time, by anyone, ever

Story


There was also a video showing all the prints. 

He has via Instagram story… but I take your point.

I was initially excited by this announcement but that’s what Heni does well. They are a marketing machine that feeds on hype. 

Reasoning about it more rationally, whilst I love Invader, in truth these are poor images (except maybe the Marilyn) that won’t suit many surroundings due to their boldness and their size. The giclee/dibond format is beginning to get tired, signed only on a sticker on the back, possible large edition (and ever growing number of people looking to flip) and the ever increasing price point of these releases seals the deal in ruling it out for me.

If you like it and always wanted an invader, it’s a great way for people to get one.

hopefully you won’t see many flippers on eBay as everyone who wants one can get one,

I sold my 2 at £900 each - more than happy that is over double original cost price- shame you missed out on them!

I really like these and think they'll look good on the wall but 3k is way too expensive.

Like I've said previously only buy if you plan to hang these. There is not profit in them. When Hirst Empresses are going for 1.2 ETH then it's fairly obvious how these are likely to perform.

I was going to buy the Marilyn but on reflection I'll wait to pick up from a desperate flipper for under cost.

It's so hard to find a good spot for Empresses due to all that intense red. They couldn't choose a worse release to try that NFT scheme. Way to many bough to flip based on the Virtues secondary market.
If they did it with Currency prints it would be a stellar success imho.
These invaders are much more wall friendly.
