AP OR NOT AP, THAT IS THE ?, by dantefires on Nov 22, 2010 11:59:55 GMT 1, I am sure I have seen some threads on the subject before, but what is the general consensus regarding A/P's over standard edition?
Would you pay more for the A/P? If so, how much more and is it worth the extra?
All comments welcome.

AP OR NOT AP, THAT IS THE ?, by Karl Read on Nov 22, 2010 12:03:43 GMT 1, depends on the artist, for example Shepard Fairey AP's (current ones) are no different from the original run and tend not to be worth any more, in fact some people prefer from the numbered addition as technically they are more unique as there is just one number rather than being part of an AP run.
Other artists though, might have hand finishing or different unique colours etc, making it more desirable.

.......then do a left turn at the pub and go straight down until you see a right turn, double back on yourself and turn left at the Church then ask again, if you come to a bridge you have gone too far.

AP OR NOT AP, THAT IS THE ?, by saint on Nov 22, 2010 12:56:33 GMT 1, I like AP's, but then i like them when they are actually Artist Proofs, rather than just the left over spare prints from a print run, j'accuse you BRP.
For me an artist proof should show differences to the main run as it should be made to show how changing colours etc would effect the final product, SOS for me do this very well, and i have a few AP's from them that i love. I would always pay a slight premium for an AP that showed a difference to the main run, however i would never pay anything extra for one that didnt. (This is providing i like the AP more than the run of course, if you like the main run more, buy that).
From Wiki:
"An artist's proof is, at least in theory, an impression of a print taken in the printmaking process to see the current printing state of a plate while the plate (or stone, or woodblock...) is being worked on by the artist. A proof may show a clearly incomplete image, often called a working proof or trial impression, but in modern practice is usually used to describe an impression of the finished work that is identical to the numbered copies."
Modern practice both blows and sucks IMO.
Also from Wiki and something that i agree with very much:
"it is normally only when the image is clearly different from the final form that the term proof has any meaning."

AP OR NOT AP, THAT IS THE ?, by waveydavey on Nov 22, 2010 13:27:36 GMT 1, Finally something wiki gets right.
An enormous number of APs dilutes the limited edition which is obviously misleading. There are definitely artists out there that are more guilty than others of doing this and to me does smack of making a quick buck. No more than a couple of APs is acceptable even if they are the same.
I've had two coffees and three cups of tea and am still barely awake. Mondays......

AP OR NOT AP, THAT IS THE ?, by manty on Nov 22, 2010 17:28:26 GMT 1, No premiums on APs in this little scene
A few artists have released an edition of say 150, then around 20 APs with some PPs thrown in, and there's another one I have forgotten that they add as well to relieve us of more of our hard earned.
