Ian Francis ๐ฌ๐ง Bristol Artist โข New Paintings โข For Sale, by Filipino Box Spring Hog on Jan 28, 2008 17:28:20 GMT 1, I've purchased all but one of my six prints from IF on the secondary market - while it would have been nicer to get the five prints at the original price, I'm still very happy with them all - I don't have the money for another set - but, would purchase them if I did. I, particularly like the piano one as well. Overall, it was a good lesson to learn - I should have waited but, thought that the first four (ed. of 25) were the only four to be released - live and learn.

So you're saying they shouldn't release these four prints just so to keep the resale "value" of the prints you have up?
But they're soooo nice! oooh... i really need cash...

what "understanding"? that says more about you than them. what are you on about? you're acting as if they're doing multiple editions of the same prints. 2 of the latest 4 are not from the solo show btw. i'm down for the opportunity to own a print of Ian's work and the quality as has been said is top notch.

Did BMG ever say that they were only releasing 4 prints from the show? If not, I really don't see that anyone could (much less should) have a problem with the fact that they've decided to release additional prints.
I would think that if you are a true fan of Ian's work that you'd be thrilled to be able to pick up a print of an image that you would not otherwise be able to get. Last I checked, his originals are far and few between.
Of course, if you're simply buying to make a buck, that's hardly BMG's problem.

Bad assumption, you should have been a good consumer and done your home work. A simple email to BLK/MRKT would have cleared any questions you might have had, including if they were releasing more prints.

As for prints, in comparisson to originals.. does it really matter? it's all down to personal taste.
bought both my deathstar and an original sketch on secondry market for near anough same price, gotta say i prefer the original (just the thought francis' spent time on it) but more (good) art had gotta be a good thing.
good luck people.

THERE IS A CERTAIN PRICE TO ONLY 4 PRINTS FROM THE SHOW. THEN THEY RELEASE another 4 AT A HIGHER EDITION DRIVING VALUE DOWN OVERALL. NOW ANOTHER FOOKN' 4. SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT ITS AN a*sShole MOVE. tHEY see how easy it is to make $140K so WHO cares about integrity and preserving the value of the initial buyers. ARSEHOLES.
So basically what your saying is, becuase there are four more prints coming out, you can't make as much money on the others you have already bought becuase he is flooding the market, what a shame.
