COMING SOON FROM L.E.T., by s-editions on Jun 20, 2008 15:35:36 GMT 1, We are delighted to announce that we are publishing a screen print edition of 'Hit By Colours' by L.E.T. We love the guy's work, had great fun with him at The Babylon Academy in Berlin, and could not be happier to be working with him.
The print will be in an edition of 33 signed and numbered examples on white Somerset 250 gsm deckled edge paper at a size of 56 cm by 76 cm. It is being proofed at the moment, and we expect to have it ready within a month, at a price of around ยฃ275. However, we are now accepting pre-publication orders at ยฃ225. In anticipation of the cynics amongst you, no it's not because we need the money in order to print the edition - it is because we always have a pre-publication price which we normally offer to galleries. However, in this case we want to give the members of this forum a chance to get their hands on the edition at a lower price than retail.
Proof artwork below:
If you would like to take up the pre-publication offer please email sales@s-editions.co.uk - that's email please, not a forum PM.
All the best, All @ s-editions

1. 6 colour screen prints on quality deckled edge paper are expensive to make
2. We have just offered it to you at a ยฃ50 discount
3. It is a blinding piece
4. We have no intention of 'telling' L.E.T. anything

If people are going to post work on a public forum then they have to take the rough with the smooth. All opinions are valid, be they positive or negative. I personally would not want a forum where you could post positive opinions/praise but not negative ones - it would be nothing more than a circle jerk and would make it hard for new members to work out what's good - as everything would appear to be good by the way people talked.
My opinion is that artistically this is Ok to weak, and price wise way over the top. At 75 quid this would be reasonable. At 275 I agree with pimp...

Pricing is always tricky. We do our best to produce high quality prints and to pay the artists well. Paid artists equal fed artists.
We also only publish small editions, as we are in the business of producing art editions and not posters.
Everyone is absolutely entitled to their opinion regarding the artistic merit of a piece - but then, so are we!

Thinking of the little girl sneaking up behind the sniper with a paper bag, ready to burst it. The humour in that works far better for me than this image. Horses for courses I suppose.

COMING SOON FROM L.E.T., by goffy on Jun 20, 2008 16:26:02 GMT 1, It is not just s-editions who are over pricing their prints, it seems like everyone is doing it. The majority of which isn't worth half the price some people charge. At least L.E.T. has put in the time, but when you are picked up by an online gallery the overheads become more expensive and more people need to be paid. Saying that, don't you know we are in an economic downturn. What I have been doing is to be really choosy and what I am going to spend my money on and not just buy any thing that is put in front of me on this forum.

i don't think realism is a priority for either the artist or the "gallery"

We used to give quite a lot of prints away for nothing. However, we were roundly criticised for doing that by members of this forum who complained that we would not be making our artists enough money by doing that.
As for pricing, if 'everyone is doing it' then they are not overpriced but simply a reflection of market value. If you don't like the image, then don't buy the print. If you don't like the price then make us an offer. The worst we will do is say 'no'. The best we will do is say 'yes'.
