Pejac & Avant Arte - A new print series, by Londown 01 on Jul 12, 2024 19:09:27 GMT 1, Marketing department deserves a raise.
Even though I like the concept, YES this is brilliant from a marketing perspective. What is more, the release in batches, starting with the really cheap one, and the idea of displaying them in triptychs will definitely create a lot of FOMO !

Pejac & Avant Arte - A new print series, by drbf on Jul 12, 2024 21:28:47 GMT 1, selling them in batches probably means they will go in a couple of minutes Batch 1 will surely go in seconds: it's very cheap and most of them were sold during the presale. Batches 2&3 are the really interesting ones because they have little of the "actual image" i.e. the crevice, but are actually already quite pricey. 4-8 are imho very expensive, given that the whole release has 1000 images and is just digital prints, but will sell for sure.

Big question isโฆ.how many prints were sold in the pre-sale? |

Pejac & Avant Arte - A new print series, by drbf on Jul 12, 2024 21:42:01 GMT 1, If a group doesn't sell out before the next one drops, they intend to close the previous one right before the next one becomes available. I don't think that was discussed. It brings a couple of questions up.. like what would they do with the unsold ones? Would they become available again at another time down the road? Why removing them in the first place? Apparently, they're not that confident about a complete sell out, if they had to think through what to do if a group doesn't sell out before the next one drops..

Pejac & Avant Arte - A new print series, by Hobby Artist on Jul 12, 2024 22:16:22 GMT 1, I really like the image and the story behind. In my opinion presenting this artwork only works either as a triptych or from No.750 upwards. Both will at least hold their resale value and that would be enough for me to go for it (if I would have the wall space). I`m curious about the following collab from AA and Pejac (any rumors?)...

Pejac & Avant Arte - A new print series, by Hobby Artist on Jul 13, 2024 6:17:15 GMT 1, My impression is that enthusiasm for this release is limited. Some guys want to go for the first batch, while on the other hand only a few will go for #8 (as it seems to me mainly due to the pricing).
I do like AA, but I am concerned the price tag is too hefty...

Pejac & Avant Arte - A new print series, by Acme Thunderer on Jul 13, 2024 8:27:18 GMT 1, Now Pejac has released this image, the hand-finished gold leaf person should be discussed before people decide to order, especially considering the gold leaf is the most prominent feature on the photo. It would be helpful if Christian Avant Arte / Avant Arte could clarify whether the hand-finished gold leaf (on the figure and elsewhere) was applied by Pejac himself or by someone else at Make-Ready (the printers). I have suspicions that this might not have been applied by Pejac himself and if not, the AA advertising is misleading. Anyone with pre-order information should read this again as it does not say it was applied by Pejac. ๐ค This is why it is important that releases should be able to be discussed. 
I am massively disappointed that a โsupposedlyโ reputable company such as Avant Arte are knowingly misleading customers - as that is exactly what they are doing and should be no defence or excuses (even from any AA cheerleaders!).
I expect the majority of AA customers are not on this forum, so they will be under the impression this is hand finished by Pejac since it is repeatedly on their advertising and descriptions and they have focused so much on the gold figure.
If I never raised it 2 days before AA publicly released, then there will still be people on this forum thinking Pejac done the hand finishing. Iโve taken some flack from raising this, but I know more people were actually grateful.
As well as asking on the forum (which I know they have seen this message), I also asked them via DM as below. They have not responded to this either.
From now on, I canโt trust anything that AA say and they are only telling you what you think you want to hear.

I can't actually think of another hand finished print release where it was not by the artist.
Not sure why they didn't respond to your question here, but tbf to AA though they did send a behind the scenes email out on the 10th talking about the process of the print...
'One figure from each print is highlighted by hand in 24 carat gold leaf by an expert gilder. Pejac specified which figure to highlight in each print, a different one every time, and oversaw the delicate application'

Based on AA misleading us already, I donโt believe for a second that a talented artist like Pejac sat next to someone applying gold leaf specifying each figure, when he could do this himself.

AA page states the above: does that mean that not just the gold figure is hand-finished but that in every print there are more hand painted details?

Prob just the UV pigment printing, thats ink. Anyway it seems obvious now Pejac himself have only made an original work on canvas, which they took a lot of digital photos of. Its not a multilayer high quality silkscreen. Its mass produced, its not ยซdemocraticยป, its has not served its purpose to mainly sell to collectors who have been fans but not collected in the past. Pejac has not made an effort to HF. |

That is is not what the text says:
"UV pigment print on a 6-colour silkscreen printed background ... finished with hand-applied 24 carat gold leaf and ink details."
The "UV pigment print" is not the "ink details"
And the "ink details" obviously go with the "finished with hand-applied ... gold leaf"

Gold leaf is applied, then ink on the figure to give it more detail (like shadows).

I guess they are being charged a fee by the courier company and are therefore passing it on to the customer. Although courier companies don't usually charge 2% of the value of the item. Or perhaps some of them do. I've lost track a bit. |

Pejac & Avant Arte - A new print series, by trapnel1 on Jul 14, 2024 19:26:32 GMT 1, I emailed AA about this as they did the same thing for Canada, they wrote me back this: โThanks for reaching out! Duty taxes to Canada are 5.5% but there is a processing fee on top of the import duty that is collected to cover managing the import duty payment and clearance on your behalf, making a total of 7.5%.โ Thanks. I guess they are being charged a fee by the courier company and are therefore passing it on to the customer. Although courier companies don't usually charge 2% of the value of the item. Or perhaps some of them do. I've lost track a bit.

In my experience, a processing fee is generally flat rate - understandably, since the processing work is the same in each case (unlike the insurance cost). |

So if you're buying a high value print from AA for 3 or 4K you are being charged rather a lot as a "processing fee". |
