There are 50 of these. Each artist produced 50 small originals, these included Yeo, Insect, Micallef, and a few more I can't remember. when the raffle was cancelled they were sold at ยฃ1500 on a first come first served basis. Some are stronger than others but they are all nice pieces. This imo is a particularly fine example.

Original Micallef For Sale/Trade, by Harveyn on Aug 11, 2009 22:37:57 GMT 1, They were sold last year and at a low price of ยฃ1500 + vat.
Quote "priced at a low level as a goodwill gesture to our clients who had intended to come to the Extravaganza and as gifts to those who had already paid"
I believe a few others were also offered to previous clients.
Just in case people are implying that this is their value today. That said this is just my opinion that they are worth considerably more.

Original Micallef For Sale/Trade, by afroken on Aug 11, 2009 22:43:16 GMT 1, A few of them also made it to the gallery floor and were offered to the public, presumably after they had given clients etc first dibs.
So what are these worth, if not what they cost only three few months ago? I'm really curious about this. Does anyone any concrete evidence of their value?

Original Micallef For Sale/Trade, by Harveyn on Aug 11, 2009 22:50:47 GMT 1, Afroken I have never seen one sold but IMO photoxtc would be mad to sell this at what they cost 8 months back (ยฃ1725). In fact mad to sell it at all. Originals by Micallef in years to come will be very sought after IMO.
Its going to be a lovely and special purchase for someone.

Original Micallef For Sale/Trade, by afroken on Aug 11, 2009 22:51:59 GMT 1, I got mine at the end of 2008... I wasn't aware of these still being offered up only a few months ago, I would be curious to see the ones that were left, pictures anyone??? Thanks for all the nice words and PMs on the piece, I really do think it's a beauty and really wasn't planning on selling but as we all know, needs must...
They were available at the Newcastle re-opening / outsiders show. I'm sure there must be some photos kicking about on Flickr or whatever. One of them was very nice but sold on the opening night.

I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily but that's 8 months during the worst recession in a generation when ALL art prices have nose dived.
You can understand why I'm scratching my head about this one.

Original Micallef For Sale/Trade, by Heavyconsumer on Aug 12, 2009 2:56:47 GMT 1, Hope you're keeping well M'. Lovely looking Head study mate! I see Afroken's point on price, as in the current climate it's pretty difficult to attribute a price to almost anything that isn't seen changing hands regularly. That said, some of these Mic' pieces I've seen have looked very good value at original cost imo and I would imagine it would be a very lucky buyer who persuades anyone to part with theirs for a similar price to what they paid. Never say never with 50 of them out there though I guess.
I'm not one for predicting who's work will be selling for what prices in the future (asI don't have the knowledge or experience to know where to begin), but a lot of Micallef's art seems to have a certain depth to it, which makes his style stand out from the crowd for me. Personally I think you're nuts to be selling this, but good luck finding the right deal.

Original Micallef For Sale/Trade, by snausages on Aug 12, 2009 7:01:42 GMT 1, It's hard to say but, but then again I've bought a couple similar size works on paper by very famous & accomplished artists (more so than Mic) for around the same price as these were sold at from source so take that for what you will... Laz price on this series seemed fair, but I wouldn't say a 'bargain.' I think perspectives are still skewed by the absurd and unsustainable mania of 07.
