antony micallef, by ogrgel on Sept 14, 2007 14:59:45 GMT 1, ive done the sums, 1600 x ยฃ1175 = ยฃ1.88 million is that correct? I surprised nobody has said they think a litho edition of 400 is overpriced at ยฃ1,175
well if it was a JD I probably wouldn't complain ..

antony micallef, by brainthedog on Sept 14, 2007 15:07:05 GMT 1, Has there been a positive post yet? I'll be brave - I like Uzi lover 1 & 2 and Peacekeeper and would happily give wall space at home to them. My take is that they are 'safe' Micallef's, following a similar artistic trend of earlier successful prints like 21CL. It appears that all that have contributed thus far to this thread would have liked to see Micallef progress further with this set of print releases, which is understandable considering the last lot of affordable prints (the Opus / Eyestorm releases) were released over a year ago and the new Lazinc prints aren't pushing any new boundaries...BUT...for those that don't own a Micallef print (me) and with the Opus / Eyestorm prints being out of the reach of many now with the surge in prices, the new set of Lazinc releases provides a lot of people with an opportunity to own a Micallef print at a reachable price. I agree with an earlier post that it would have been nice to see a new charcoal portait print thrown into the mix - the four new prints are very much the same in design. My guess is that these will sell out very quickly on both sides of the pond - whether buyers that are truly interested in Micallef will buy them is another matter! I hope that a good number of people that genuinely want a Micallef get the opportunity to pick one up before they sell out.
good post bob. i agree with everything you said.

I've been told his new stuff was 'more masculine' - didn't understand at the time but now, seeing the images, i get it.
There's gonna be sculpture too in LA, which will be interesting to see.

But then again, it is still early in his career and a hell of alot of expection has been placed on him. He's not superman.

Definitely a grower, but doing it very quickly.

The respect system dissapeared before, but it was just a mistake. I hope this is for real though.
As you can tell, I have been around a bit longer than you may think. ;D
