AP vs. regular print run, by fourputt on Sept 12, 2008 0:37:19 GMT 1, I am far from an expert in art collecting so I have a question. Are artist proofs generally more valuable than the regular run of a print? If so, why? If not, why? From what I've seen, AP are of course fewer in number and have been slightly more expensive. Are they more desirable as well? Or is it a niche that certain collectors choose to concentrate on? I ask because I have recently been offered an AP and want to know whether it is worth spending the extra dosh over the normal print. Thanks for any input.

No is it bollox. The image is the same, therefore the effect you get from the image should be the same. However, there are some anal retentitives that think an A/P logo makes it a bit special. (Or a P/P if it comes to that)
It's only my opinion, but if you have a limited amount of money to spend and aren't worried about anything other than the image, then don't get hung up on Artists proofs, Printers proofs or anything of the kind. Stick with a standard print that evokes the genuine feeling that made you desire the print in the first place and you'll not go wrong.

AP vs. regular print run, by Deleted on Sept 12, 2008 0:57:05 GMT 1, i would say that AP's tend to sell for 20% more and sometimes a lot more depending on the artist and if the image is slightly different i.e. like the darker sky on the Nick walker print VA , also some times the artists will hand finish their AP's and that can add up to 50% -100% on top of the standard prints price, make sure you like the print and find out what the standard edition cost and maybe sold for on ebay, go to the completed listing to see the sold price on ebay, i hope this helps good luck
D
PS
i have a hand finished AP for sale

AP vs. regular print run, by oneeye on Sept 12, 2008 6:20:28 GMT 1, If I had the choice I'd take an AP over a regular edition. To me, it's a bit more rare. But wouldn't pay much more for it.

AP vs. regular print run, by moleman on Sept 12, 2008 10:35:37 GMT 1, no way a/ps of big boys are rare and wanted a/ps of most others are just extra revanue and imo some a/ps are worse be carefull which ones you get. nick walkers are normally good as different never seen a banksy i would say dface are the same.
I would say go for them if you can it looks nice to have a lower edition. however p/p etc are rare and worth the punt especially again big artist. they were gifts to the printers normally max 5 ( and first off production line) in total but make sure you get cast iron prov these if the artist grows are worth it and any one who says other wise imo is wrong

AP vs. regular print run, by bostonlongstroke on Sept 12, 2008 12:19:36 GMT 1, I myself, am a HUGE fan of AP's/PP's. They are rarer than the numbered edition. And, 9 times outta 10, they receive a more selective/special treatment than the normal numbered run.
I've always been a fanatic about AP's/PP's or VERY low numbers in the respective runs.
For example, Shep Fairey(OBEY) has print numbered runs of 450. Although, it is widely known that he never produces more that 10-20 AP's per print design.
Which means a smaller, more scant edition!
If you've got an opportunity to grab an AP... GRAB IT!!!
It can't hurt, in terms of value.
