Older Failes (2006) for decent prices, by kronoopus on Sept 5, 2007 22:30:45 GMT 1, Here is what stopped me from buying.
I called and left a message asking about provenance and how these were professionally framed. No repsonse. So, I'm not sure.

I called and asked and know they aren't dry mounted. I am going to speak to the owner tomorrow to confirm the rest.Pretty sure every thing's kosher. When you think about it, they are making a good profit on the sale. The prints would have cost them $250 back then. THe frame job, a bulk discount, so they're happy too I'm sure

I would be utterly shocked to see these dry mounted. That's not the definition of 'Professionally framed' to me.
If you look at what else they're offering it seems pretty obvious that they didn't know what they were sitting on. Especially after hearing her responses over the phone about the traffic for the Faile pieces today.

will do. if you look on their website and watch the flash images of the store, there is one shot where you can see all 5 pieces hung on the store wall

it takes a bit of time to come off the inventory. I do, however, strongly suggest you call the store if they are still open to confirm and so that they piece can also be removed manually.

Older Failes (2006) for decent prices, by artfortruth on Sept 5, 2007 23:02:18 GMT 1, Ok, I got a reply about the framing and there was also a sweet little tip off at the end. SHHHHH! ;-)
"When I had these pieces framed I told the framer no adhesives and the piece is not touching the glass. I will get you a picture tomorrow when I get back into work. I had to take them down because i only had 1 of each and 50 people were trying to purchase.
Thanks again for your purchase we will be puttng up other pieces later this week and next."
Could this mean even more affordable Faile pieces to come?
Lets hope so...
;DKeep an eye out yall. ;D

Older Failes (2006) for decent prices, by artfortruth on Sept 6, 2007 0:41:25 GMT 1, From what I can recall there were 2 Bunny girls, 2 Bunny Boys & a Dog. All on colored backgrounds and small editions.
I could be mistaken. I'm sure someone else can fill in my gaps.
I asked for a picture of mine since it was taken offline and I think it's coming in my email tomorrow. I'll post it if so.

Older Failes (2006) for decent prices, by oddkabob on Sept 6, 2007 6:22:32 GMT 1, The store has updated their art section with 4 new artworks (but ufortunately no Faile's), descriptions are copied from the site:
1) Seen, $750.00, Beautiful 5 piece set by the godfather of graffiti "SEEN." Only 1 set was produced. Each piece is signed and numbered out of 5. The set is a four of a kind, all sixes with the fifth piece being the Joker(Seens tag). Surely a perfect art set for a collector. Each panel is 16" x 20" Signed on Verso
2) Seen Street Sign $450.00. Dope street sign tagged by legendary "Godfather of Grafitti" Seen. Own a piece of history
3) Kaws Warm Regards Print, $800.00, Kaws print from Beautiful Losers exhibition. Signed and Numbered out of 200.
Letter pressed, What more do you need to say. Great value Kaws piece. 20" x 16"
4) Bast Drink Balentine Print, $1500.00, Varied-edition print of 4.
Silkscreen and Mixed Media on Butcher Paper. Dimensions: 24 x 36 Inches Approx. Signed by Bast. 2006 One iconic image. A true find.
NOTE: This piece was sized by the framer. Bast pieces tend to be unfinished in that regard.

Keep an eye on his website: www.planet6.com/store/
Though he's not put anything up for months.
Otherwise: www.punkdaisy.com/4.html, but not that cheap.
Or Stolen Space if you've got serious cash to burn: www.stolenspace.com/artists.php?w_artist=21&w_pic=first
The prices at Ulterior are very good, given it's secondary market.

I asked about the status since it's been a week with no word.
Apparently they've been really busy and are shipping via UPS today sometime.
Looks like we will be waiting another 2 weeks.
